    Trella is a scrub – but she’s not your average scrub. She has one friend and prefers to spend her time in the pipes
    rather than with the overcrowded living quarters of the other scrubs.  They’re forced to clean the Inside for the
    Uppers.  Trella doesn’t know much about the world, but when her friend comes to her and says there’s someone
    who wants to meet her, she’s suspicious.

    What she discovers is something she never imagined.  Unknowingly, she starts a revolution. Now, people who once
    scorned her are helping her complete tasks, steal food, and giving her valuable information, all for the hopes of a
    better life.  Everyone wants to know what’s on the Outside.

    Everywhere Trella goes, danger follows. The Pop Cops have captured her best friend. He’s sentenced to die if she
    doesn’t get to him in time.  They’re watching her every move and questioning her acquaintances.   

    Plus, she doesn’t know who to trust.  She’s going by her instincts, but the last time a rebellion occurred, the leaders
    were betrayed. Trella’s hoping she trusts the right people and, with time running out, hoping that they find something
    that makes all their sacrifices worthwhile.

    With INSIDE OUT, Maria V. Snyder leads readers on an edge-of-your-seat science fiction adventure ride filled
    with twists and turns you’ll never see coming.  Snyder has quickly become a favorite author of mine. I can’t wait to
    see what she and Trella have in store for us in the next book of this series.
