In the aftermath of that event, children-like the story’s protagonist, 16-year-old Ruby (played by Stenberg)-are developing strange and sometimes frightening abilities. The Darkest Minds film is set in a future United States following an epidemic that eradicated most of the world’s children. The book features a new narrator: 18-year-old Suzume, a character who appeared in the earlier books. It’s the first novel-length book in her The Darkest Minds series since the original trilogy in 2014 (Bracken has also written three Darkest Minds novellas), and takes place five years after the end of the trilogy. Bracken has another reason to celebrate this summer, with the release of The Darkest Legacy later this month. The film adaptation of her novel, The Darkest Minds (Disney-Hyperion) premieres on August 3, starring Amandla Stenberg, Mandy Moore, and Gwendoline Christie. It’s an exciting time for YA author Alexandra Bracken.
