In A Darkest Minds Novel: The Darkest Minds, readers are introduced to Ruby, a sixteen-year-old girl who possesses dangerous abilities that set her apart from others. Following a mysterious disease that has decimated the youth of America, Ruby finds herself in a world where survival is uncertain. The government has taken drastic measures, sending children like Ruby to brutal rehabilitation camps.
