ABOUT THE BOOK

From the New York Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series comes a renegade thriller, about a teenager elected President of the United States, sparking a global revolution of young leaders — until one of them is murdered and he’s the prime suspect.

Presented in brilliant neon color, with over 150 nuke-orange visuals, fizzy orange and blue stained edges, full-color designed endpapers and a neon-orange cover case.

America is on the brink of collapse and the youth have lost all faith in their leaders. As a pivotal election approaches, Benton Young, a high school senior trying to impress a girl, impulsively uploads a video, daring everyone to interfere with the vote and write him in for President. The video explodes online, igniting election chaos and a national revolt, until the Supreme Court intervenes to put Benton in the White House. Galvanized by Benton’s rise, more global youth take to the streets, and more governments fall, until eight of the world's most powerful nations are led by teenagers.

When these young leaders convene at their first summit in Sweden, they face the monumental task of setting a new course for history. But the first night, their unity is shattered when a leader is murdered in cold blood… and Benton is the only suspect. Hunted by enemies young and old, he must untangle a deadly web of secrets, betrayal, and power plays — while the future of the world hangs in the balance.  

With globe-spanning action, stunning twists, and an electric new brand of storytelling, Young World is a heartstopping thriller that asks: what happens when the future really does belong to the young?
