Out of Control

Written by Sarah Alderson

A book for readers in grades 9 and up reviewed by Shayne

    

Out of Control is a book about Olivia AKA Liva and Jaime AKA Jay, who are on the run from two cops. The cops are corrupt and murder Liva’s host family. After Liva witnesses the murders, the cops attack the police station where she has been taken into custody just to kill her. It turns out that Liva's father was actually running one of the biggest human trafficking rings of the decade. Liva and Jay work to take down her father and the two cops trying to kill them.

I like Out of Control because it has a really good twist and a lot of action. Throughout the book, Liva and Jay’s relationship also changes because of certain events that occur. We also get to know Jay's family and learn how chaotic his life actually is.
