ORPHANCORP brings together all three books in Marlee Jane Ward's captivating trilogy comprising Welcome to Orphancorp, Psynode and Prisoncorp.
From orphanage to prison, the Orphancorp Trilogy is a heartfelt, brutal, funny, and diverse story about when corporate interests overwhelm human rights, and what happens to children when they bloom in the darkest of places.
‘Freedom feels scary, feels too big and every time I think about what I might do I stop being able to think about anything.'
In a futuristic and dystopian Australia, industrialisation and capitalism have overwhelmed and smothered human rights and sanity. Meet Mirii, a young orphan caught in a system that's hell bent on keeping her down. When she finds unexpected allies, friends and love will it be enough to see her through this nightmarish world? Or is it only the beginning of the troubles she will have to face?
Fast-paced, gritty and highly original, it confirms Marlee Jane Ward as one of Australia's best YA authors.
'This gritty, greasy story is peppered with violence and lit with the slenderest shafts of affection and hope. It will make your jaw clench with fear for the indomitable Mirii Mahoney and your fist punch the air at every tiny victory.' MARGO LANAGAN
‘Punchy, crunchy, sexy and smart, Orphancorp is a sharp shock of a story with bruised-but-not broken characters and a bonsai dystopia you can actually believe in. Marlee Jane Ward is a writer of heart and passion, muscle and slow-burning anger.' IAN MCDONALD
