All Rights Reserved: A New YA Science Fiction Book (Word$ 1)

In a world where every word and gesture is copyrighted, patented or trademarked, one girl elects to remain silent rather than pay to speak, and her defiant and unexpected silence threatens to unravel the very fabric of society.

Speth Jime is anxious to deliver her Last Day speech and celebrate her transition into adulthood. The moment she turns fifteen, Speth must pay for every word she speaks (â€œSorryâ€ is a flat ten dollars and a legal admission of guilt), for every nod ($0.99/sec), for every scream ($0.99/sec) and even every gesture of affection. Sheâ€™s been raised to know the consequences of falling into debt, and canâ€™t begin to imagine the pain of having her eyes shocked for speaking words that sheâ€™s unable to afford.

But when Spethâ€™s friend Beecher commits suicide rather than work off his familyâ€™s crippling debt, she canâ€™t express her shock and dismay without breaking her Last Day contract and sending her family into Collection. Backed into a corner, Speth finds a loophole: rather than read her speechâ€”rather than say anything at allâ€”she closes her mouth and vows never to speak again. Spethâ€™s unexpected defiance of tradition sparks a media frenzy, inspiring others to follow in her footsteps, and threatens to destroy her, her family and the entire city around them.
