Discover the National Book Award, Newbery Honor, and Printz
Honor-winning modern classic and its riveting sequel--together in a
collectible hardcover boxed set for the first time!
Matt Alacrán was not born. He was harvested.
His DNA came from El Patrón, who is the drug-lord ruler of the country
of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt--except for El
Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is
himself.
As Matt grows up and struggles to understand his existence, he is
threatened by a sinister cast of characters, and has to make bigger
decisions than he ever imagined. Through Matt's page-turning adventures,
Nancy Farmer tackles some of life's most enduring questions--what it
means to be human, what we owe to each other, and how to find hope in
even the darkest situations.
This electric hardcover boxed set includes:
The House of the Scorpion
The Lord of Opium
