Details: With this deluxe collectible paperback edition, rediscover the National Book Award, Newbery Honor, and Printz Honor-winning modern classic about what it means to be human.
Matt Alacr'an wasn't born. He was harvested.
His DNA came from El Patr'on, the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt-except for El Patr'on. El Patr'on loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.
As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, and realizes escape is his only chance to survive. But escape from the Alacr'an Estate is no guarantee of freedom.
