Product Information

This modern classic takes on an iron-fisted drug lord, clones bred for their organs, and what it means to be human. Winner of the National Book Award as well as Newbery and Printz Honors. Matteo Alacr n was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patr n, lord of a country called Opium--a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster--except for El Patr n. El Patr n 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, including El Patr n's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacr n Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.

Interesting, thought-provoking, disturbing
This is quite an interesting story – futuristic fiction. I don’t normally read stories of this genre, but I was curious and intrigued by the back cover blurb. It’s a story of the future in which clones figure, and is written from the point of view of a clone from about 6 years old on. Really makes one think. The story is well thought-out, brutal, maddening, depressing, but I think intentionally and makes good points without being obvious or beating one over the head with it. Interesting moral and ethical issues, and particularly interesting future bigotry. Clones are considered evil, dirty, beasts, inhuman/animals, etc. like so many ethnic groups of yesterday.

The story is well thought-out, brutal, maddening, depressing, but I think intentionally and makes good points without being obvious or beating one over the head with it. Interesting moral and ethical issues, and particularly interesting future bigotry. Clones are considered evil, dirty, beasts, inhuman/animals, etc. like so many ethnic groups of yesterday. Interesting perspective of awareness from the clone, and the characters that turn out to be good and help him during several enormous crises, have qualities that are timeless and could be of any age, culture, time, etc. Other beings are humans and animals called eedjits that have had a chip installed in their brains which makes them actual slaves and unable to do anything but their assigned duties or tasks. No free will or thought, even inside. This disturbed me quite a lot. The injustice and cruelty of many are disturbing, but realistic, and the most surprising was the brainwashing mentality of what appeared to be communistic society of what was formerly Mexico. Well-written, easy to follow and understand, well-developed. Overall, this story was not my cup of tea, but no fault of the author’s. It is a very interesting and thought-provoking story, and I encourage others to read it to sample some of the issues that could come up regarding clones, brainwashing, mind-control to the extreme and various societies in the future.

The whole thing starts out with a boy named Matt who gets discovered one day and goes to the castle. From there El patron gives him all he wants. Lessons for music and everything so he can become very intelligent. His life is great no worries because His protector is giving him everything you could possibly want. Though everything seems great from there it takes a downfall Matt starts to realize what he was actually meant to do not be happy. His only way of survival once he knows is to run away, but where. He ends up in Aztlan were he meets some new friends and enemies a “Plankton Factory” which does violate a few rules here and there. The main part of this book is discussing a very important topic kind of stating if we should use the technology to clone or if we should even use it for medical reasons. Also what is going too far for humanity reasons such as mind slaves? A possible moral for this story could be that greed gets you no where in life or even perhaps that soon technology will boom and you should be ready for it to come. Overall I thought this was a fantastic book and would recommend it to anybody who likes an easy and fun read with a few serious topics.

Coming of age story with quite a few twists and turns
This book was one of the selections for required reading in my daughter's middle school. Nancy Farmer is a good writer, but this story has disturbing elements used to illustrate its theme. The main character is a clone of a drug lord who has extended his life through his clones. The scorpion, as the drug lord has been called, has ruled for generations over an small empire in the borderlands between the U.S. and Mexico. It is a giant opium plantation with only a few privileged residents, mainly family and servants who reside in the "house of the scorpion". It is written as a coming of age story of a person who has no legal status, except as property. This clone has been allowed to illegally retain his intelligence. The minds of clones are generally destroyed at birth, but the drug wants ... This book was one of the selections for required reading in my daughter's middle school. Nancy Farmer is a good writer, but this story has disturbing elements used to illustrate its theme. The main character is a clone of a drug lord who has extended his life through his clones. The scorpion, as the drug lord has been called, has ruled for generations over an small empire in the borderlands between the U.S. and Mexico. It is a giant opium plantation with only a few privileged residents, mainly family and servants who reside in the "house of the scorpion". It is written as a coming of age story of a person who has no legal status, except as property. This clone has been allowed to illegally retain his intelligence. The minds of clones are generally destroyed at birth, but the drug wants his own clones to retain their minds until his health requires harvesting them for transplant. In addition, the giant opium plantation of the drug lord's empire is worked by people who have had their mental abilities curtailed as adults. This process turns them into "idjits" who must be directed to even care for their most basic needs, perfectly docile and mindless workers. Even the privileged family members are subject to constant surveillance and must act according to the whims and caprices of the drug lord. Later, after escaping termination for transplantation, the main character is subjected to an orphanage where the supervisors practice thought control through indoctrination and communist style self criticism sessions. No one is truly free to think and do for themselves in this story regardless of their legal or illegal status. The entire book is an exploration of what it means to be human, through the eyes of one who is regarded as a mindless animal. Everyone in our home who read this book came away with something different depending on their age. Most of the things I thought were echoes and parodies of various fascist, communist, immigrant status, institutional abuse, etc., issues, were not familiar to younger readers. They were more focused on the individual injustice of the clone's life. I prefer some of Ms. Farmer's other books, but this book is well written and provides a lot of take off points for discussions with a middle school student.

Title is a terrific description for the sting of family ties.
Great book with a good storyline to mull over. Relevant to today's issues and alluring to sci fi teen and adult audiences. This twisted tale of origin and fate is easy reading and hard to put down-highly recommend it!
