Advanced genetic engineering and upsettingly plausible caste oppression keep pages turning in this futuristic science fiction tale. . . . A good option for science-fiction fans interested in genetic engineering, rebellion and class issues.--Kirkus Reviews "Kirkus Reviews "

Reaching beyond an exciting dystopian plot, Karen Sandler tells the alarming story of a society that has come to devalue humans, turning many of them into commodities, and the courage it takes to face the truth needed to fight oppression. . . . Such thought-provoking themes and the high level of character development, as well as an engaging plot, make the book ideal for a wide audience, although it's tailored to science-fiction buffs.--ForeWord Reviews "ForeWord Reviews "

The author's speculative vision of the darker side of future possibilities in genetic engineering and mind control is both chilling and thought-provoking. This is a dark novel that will appeal to those who enjoyed M. T. Anderson s Feed (Candlewick, 2002), and it would make a good stepping-stone to Anthony Burgess s classic, A Clockwork Orange (W.W. Norton, 1963).--School Library Journal "School Library Journal ""

Karen Sandler's Tankborn is a thought-provoking YA science fiction that's very fast-paced and brilliantly executed. You're thrown into the world, having to figure out terminology via its usage rather than through information dumps. And while the plot isn't hard to follow, there's a lot of underlying themes that lend themselves to discussion (with regards to using religion to control people, the morality of creating a race of genetically engineered slaves, etc.). . . . Tankborn is a highly recommended, thought-provoking YA novel from a new imprint dedicated to diversity.--SF Signal "SF Signal "
