Description 117 pages ; 21 cm regular print Series Welcome to Orphancorp ; 1 Ward, Marlee Jane. Welcome to Orphancorp ; 1 Summary Winner of the 2015 Seizure Viva La Novella Prize A sharp-edged semi-futuristic riff about a rebellious teenager's last week at an industrial orphanage. 'Takes all of your dystopian nightmares and connects them to a mother lode of pure emotional intensity. There's so much keen detail here about the cruel logic of oppressive institutions, you'll feel Mirii's yearning for freedom in your bones - and you'll rejoice at every tiny moment of escape that she achieves. Welcome to Orphancorp is harrowing, scarily real, and ultimately super moving.' - Charlie Jane Anders (i09) 'Punchy, crunchy, sexy and smart, Welcome to Orphancorp is a short, sharp shock of a story with bruised-but-not broken characters and a bonsai dystopia you can actually believe in Analysis Australian Notes "First published in Seizure by Xoum in 2015"--Title page verso Viva La Novella, 2015 Subject "The Nib" Waverley Library Award for Literature Nominations (2016) Dystopias -- Juvenile fiction.
