THE GENEVA PROJECT

The book starts with a girl in the Troian Center called Jane #65. This is because in the Troian Center a girl is Jane with a number while a boy is John and a number.

I found the story slow at the start but it soon picks up.  It is about a girl who learns who she really is and what she can do. I think it’s an amazing story.

Jane is just like all the other girls in the island orphanage, a Jane with a number. Searching for her own name starts when she meets John who tells her that his real name is Nova. It turns out that the whole island has a lot more secrets other than names. Like the fact that she has magical powers and that she, just another orphan, is destined to save the whole island.

Jane 65 is a young girl who lives on Hullabee Island. Her real name is Geneva Sommers, and she is an orphan. She was found ten years ago after the Flood, and is the youngest of all the orphans at the Troian Center. The Troian Center is run by greedy, evil headmistress Greeley who collects all the valuables the youngsters find and hoards them, though the items could be used to help fund the rebuilding of the island. Greeley couldn't care less about names, so each girl is a Jane and each boy is a John.
