Product Overview
With this deluxe collectible paperback edition, rediscover the National Book Award, Newbery Honor, and Printz Honor-winning modern classic about what it means to be human. Matt Alacrn wasn't born. He was harvested. His DNA came from El Patrn, the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt--except for El Patrn. El Patrn 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, and realizes escape is his only chance to survive. But escape from the Alacrn Estate is no guarantee of freedom.
