Chomp by Carl Hiaasen

Feed by M.T. Anderson

"It's a book about this normal guy named Titus and his friends. They're on the moon for spring break and their feeds — chips implanted in their brains — are hacked by this really old guy. It's a story about love, and I rate it very highly."

— Griffin Koss, 11 of Johnson
