The House of the Scorpion [K] by Nancy Farmer $1.99 Daily Deal

Publication Date: May 8, 2010 | Age Level: 11 and up | Grade Level: 7 and up
MATTEO ALACRáN WAS NOT BORN; HE WAS HARVESTED.

His DNA came from El Patrón, lord of a country called Opium -- a strip
of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called
Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he
was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous
journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider
him a monster -- except for El Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as
he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a
sinister cast of characters, including El Patrón's power-hungry
family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is
the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacrán
Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his
difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.

Esperanza isn't ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances--Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
