Really enjoyed this. Surprisingly it felt very much like a modern YA story even though it was written in 1955. The Hunger Games comes to mind, many similarities of a messed up dystopian society and young people fighting their way out. I loved going into this with no real idea what it was about and then figuring out things like post nuclear war along the way. If I guessed the names right this actually takes place in Canada. Have no recollection of reading it in school.
