This is a first printing of The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, published in 2012 by Hyperion.
From the publisher:
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had
changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the
garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a
brutal government "rehabilitation camp." She might have survived the
mysterious disease that killed most of America's children, but she and
the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they
cannot control. Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. But when
the truth about Ruby's abilities—the truth she's hidden from everyone,
even the camp authorities—comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with
her life.
On the run, she joins a group of kids who escaped their own
camp: Zu, a young girl haunted by her past; Chubs, a standoffish
brainiac; and Liam, their fearless leader, who is falling hard for Ruby.
But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting
close. Not after what happened to her parents. While they journey to
find the one safe haven left for kids like them—East River—they must
evade their determined pursuers, including an organization that will
stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. But
as they get closer to grasping the things they've dreamed of, Ruby will
be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only
chance at a life worth living.
