Poppy and Marigold
Poppy and Marigold
Meg Dendler

Blue citizens are absolutely superior to all others, especially ignorant, uncivilized Orange. Poppy has been taught this relentlessly for twelve years. But when she accidentally crosses the forbidden border and is befriended by Marigold—a tangerine-skinned girl—and her kind-but-quirky family, Poppy is forced to rethink everything. Questioning that Blue is Best or the rest of the 50 Rules governing Poppy’s world would get her sent to a dangerous Detention Center. Or worse. But how can she return to her blindly obedient, anti-Orange life now that she knows the truth?

Poppy is a 12-year-old who lives in a world that is divided by colors. She lives in the Blue region, where the most important things are efficiency and rules. Growing up, she was always told to not cross the border and leave Blue territory as it is highly illegal. She was taught that the neighboring orange territory was full of poor, uneducated, and unhappy people. One day, she is in the woods picking berries when a bear starts chasing her. In her panic, she runs without paying attention to where she is going and ends up in Orange territory. There, she meets a girl named Marigold.
