The House of the Scorpion Paperback Duology: The House of the Scorpion; The Lord of Opium
Nancy Farmer
Discover the National Book Award, Newbery Honor, and Printz Honor-winning modern classic and its riveting sequel–together in a collectible paperback boxed set for the first time! Matt Alacran was not born. He was harvested.
His DNA came from El Patron, who is the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt–except for El Patron. El Patron 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 paperback boxed set includes:
The House of the Scorpion
