National Bestseller

Strange things are happening at Biehl's Academy when this elite school opens its doors to a group of orphans and reform-school rejects, kids at the end of the system's tether. But the school is run by a peculiar set of rules by which every minute is regimented and controlled. The children soon suspect that they are guinea pigs in a bizarre social experiment, and that their only hope of escape is to break through a dangerous threshold of time and space. Peter H eg's brilliant and dystopian Borderliners is a uniquely philosophical thriller (Boston Sunday Globe) and a haunting story of childhood travail and hope.

Front Jacket

A disturbing, often brutal book, which stretches the limits of literary thriller as it challenges our notions of education and childhood.
