Thumped
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Megan McCafferty's Bumped series of books are must-read teen dystopian fiction, along with Ally Condie's Matched series and Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy.
Thumped, the sequel to Bumped, manages to be satiric, scary, and romantic at the same time. It continues the story of separated-at-birth twins, Melody and Harmony, girls as engaging as McCafferty's Jessica Darling. These sisters are the most popular teen girls on the planet. To their fans, they seem to be living ideal lives. Harmony is married to Ram and living in Goodside, the religious community that once meant everything to her. Melody has the genetically flawless Jondoe as her coupling partner, which means money and status—and a bright future.
But both girls are hiding secrets. And they are each pining for the only guys they can't have.... The biggest risk of all could be to finally tell the truth.

"A sparkling, imaginative romp that is nevertheless plenty provocative." — Kirkus Reviews
"The well-paced plot and the twins' alternating narratives will keep readers engaged .... A worthwhile read." — School Library Journal
Praise for BUMPED: "McCafferty proves that dystopias don't have to be dreary to be provocative." — Publishers Weekly
Praise for BUMPED: "Sure to keep [readers] thinking." — Kirkus Reviews
Praise for BUMPED: "BUMPED is brilliant, innovative, and slightly terrifying. Megan McCafferty delivers!" — Carolyn Mackler, author of TANGLED and the Printz-Honor-book, THE EARTH, MY BUTT, AND OTHER BIG ROUND THINGS
Praise for BUMPED: "Megan McCafferty has conceived a hilarious, touching, truly original novel, told in her trademark, spot-on voice. Readers of every age will delight in this new arrival." — Rachel Cohn, bestselling author of NICK & NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST
Praise for BUMPED: "Bumped has it all: a fascinating yet frighteningly believable world, seamless world-building, great humor, and sophisticated word play. The book will start many a discussion and, alas, raise more than a few eyebrows. I suspect the mothers will like it just as much as the daughters. Bumped is the 'breediest' novel of the year." — Gabrielle Zevin, author of ELSEWHERE

Gr 9 Up-Science fiction frequently introduces readers to mind-bending scenarios, and Thumped is no exception. In this dystopian sequel to Bumped (HarperCollins, 2011), readers return to New Jersey in 2036. A virus has infected the population, rendering almost everyone over the age of 18 infertile. To ensure an adequate national birthrate, teenagers are encouraged by the government to procreate. Patriotic surrogacy is a lucrative way for high school girls to fund their higher educations, and for some, it's even a path to fame. Melody and Harmony, twins separated at birth but now recently reunited, are both pregnant with twins of their own. As their "double double due date" approaches and their fame skyrockets, they search for a way to use their media platform to address the importance of a young woman's right to choose her own reproductive future-even if it means exposing damaging lies. The well-paced plot and the twins' alternating narratives will keep readers engaged. Although sex and reproduction are frequently discussed, it's never in a graphic manner. A worthwhile read for teens beginning to think about their personal reproductive choices.-Lindsay Cesari, Baldwinsville School District, NY
