Donna is a smart character, and that is actually her power. She has the ability to always pick the right multiple choice question and she has the ability to predict things in games of chance. That is why Donna is sent to the "special" school. Soon Donna learns that something is not right, especially since there are no phones, TV or internet at the school. When students start turning up dead, Donna is determined she's going to find out what's going on.
Margaret E. Alexander has written a thrilling story that will keep the reader guessing until the very end about who the executioner is. Donna is a strong character who really develops as the story moves. In the beginning she was very timid and she definitely morphed into the butt-kicking heroine that I love, and she will do anything to stand up for what she believes and protect the ones she loves.
The Executioner of the Institute for Contaminated Children was a thrilling read and I recommend this to anyone who loves superhero stories.

Margaret E. Alexander grew up in Miami,
FL. Ten years of frizz and hurricanes chased her away to sunny San
Diego, CA. While in college, studying biomedical engineering didn’t stop
her from pumping out novel drafts every year. She found her escape in
storytelling and others like her who sometimes preferred the world of
fiction to the real one. The Executioner at the Institute for Contaminated Children
is her first YA novel with Crescent Moon Press. She loves blogging
about thrillers with young protagonists and is putting her art minor to
good use with a graphic novel project on the side. Her wandering focus
is the fault of her cat.
