The House of the Scorpion

Discover this internationally bestselling, National Book Award-winning young adult classic about what it means to be human with an updated, reimagined cover!

Matt Alacr疣 wasn't born. He was harvested.

His DNA came from El Patr, the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt--except for El Patr. El Patr 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, and realizes escape is his only chance to survive. But escape from the Alacr疣 Estate is no guarantee of freedom.
