It is a science fiction book set in the future, where most humans live on other planets, and Earth is practically deserted. Some people, however, have a genetic mutation that does not allow them to travel to other planets. Deemed ‘apes’ and ‘throwbacks’ by the rest of humanity, they are secluded and looked down upon. But Jarra, an ‘ape’, wants to prove to the ‘norms’ that apes are just as good as them. She goes undercover in a history class that is excavating ruins on Earth, planning to reveal herself at the right moment and laugh in their faces. What she does not plan is to make friends, learn more than she could have ever dreamed of, and possibly even fall in love…. Read if you like science fiction, books set in the future, strong female characters, Uglies, Divergent, etc
