Everyone gets the Mark. It gives all the benefits of
citizenship. Yet if getting the Mark is such a good thing, then why does
it feel so wrong?
Set in a future North America that is struggling to recover after famine and global war, Swipe
follows the lives of three kids caught in the middle of a conflict they
didn’t even know existed. United under a charismatic leader, every
citizen of the American Union is required to get the Mark on their 13th
birthday in order to gain the benefits of citizenship.
The Mark
is a tattoo that must be swiped by special scanners for everything from
employment to transportation to shopping. It’s almost Logan Langly’s
13th birthday and he knows he should be excited about getting the Mark,
but he hasn’t been able to shake the feeling he’s being watched. Not
since his sister went to get her Mark five years ago . . . and never
came back.
