Super Short Summary

In Slated by Teri Terry, sixteen-year-old Kyla wakes up with no memory of her past after being "slated" by a dystopian government that uses mind-wiping technology on young criminals to give them a second chance. As Kyla adjusts to her new family and school, she becomes suspicious of the official narrative about her past and the true purpose of the technology. She befriends Ben and discovers that her real identity is Lucy Conner, learning that the government slates not only criminals but also political dissenters. Kyla embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about herself and the oppressive regime.
