O' Brien, Caragh Birthmarked 361 pgs. RB, 2010. Language-Pg (3 Swears, 0 "f"); Sexual Content-Pg; Violence-Pg; Gaia's mother is a midwife and so is she. They spend their days delivering babies. The only part Gaia doesn't like is turning the first three babies of every month over to the Enclave. When Gaia's parents are arrested for unknown reasons she sets off on an amazing adventure through the Enclave, the world hidden behind the wall. I loved this book. It was absolutely amazing. My favorite part was that it tested my brain. I really had to think. I like the mystery alot. I wouldn't suggest it for younger kids though because its kind of a difficult brain twister.
