Reviews
"Khoury's debut captures the lush rhythms of the rainforest. . . . The plot moves at breakneck speed. . . . Utterly refreshing." - Kirkus "This well-written first novel concerns 17-year-old Pia, who, as the result of advanced genetic engineering, is invulnerable and immortal. . . . [Khoury's] descriptions of the rainforest and the native people contrast beautifully with the laboratory setting . . . and Pia is a fascinating protagonist." - Publishers Weekly "This first novel is a gripping read . . . with a clever blend of elements. It is an adventure story with romantic overtones, has a lush exotic setting framed by science, turns the eternal-love concept on its head, and rotates around a compelling moral quandary." - Booklist "Readers will be thrilled with the page-turning adventure/survival scenes in a descriptive and imaginative setting, and will root for Pia and Eio to the end." - SLJ " Origin is a startling mystery played out in the vivid and lush Amazon jungle. In this deadly clash of science and nature, a heroine emerges. Pia clawed her way through the pages and left her mark on the landscape of my imagination as the almost tangible danger left me breathless." -Colleen Houck, New York Times bestselling author of Tiger's Curse "I loved Origin 's action, romance, and mystery and I couldn't stop thinking about the questions it raised." -Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Across the Universe "Is this science fiction? It feels too scarily real. This spellbinding tale of the horrors of genetic engineering gone mad is both thriller and love story, breathlessly paced and beautifully told." -Judy Blundell, National Book Award winning author of What I Saw and How I Lied "A lush, dreamy page-turner that will live forever in the hearts of its readers. Pia may be the perfect antidote for those suffering from Katniss withdrawal." -Josh Sundquist, author of the national bestseller Just Don't Tell

Synopsis
"The jungle hides a girl who cannot die. "An electrifying action-romance that's as thoughtful as it is tragic. Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home--and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life. Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin--a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever. "Origin" is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost. "ORIGIN is a startling mystery played out in the vivid and lush Amazon jungle. In this deadly clash of science and nature, a heroine emerges. Pia clawed her way through the pages and left her mark on the landscape of my imagination as the almost tangible danger left me breathless."--ColleenHouck, NewYork Times bestselling author of "Tiger's Curse" "I loved "Origin's "action, romance, and mystery--and I couldn't stop thinking about the questions it raised." --Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of "Across the Universe ""Is this science fiction? It feels too scarily real. This spellbinding tale of the horrors of genetic engineering gone made is both thriller and love story, breathlessly paced and beautifully told." --Judy Blundell, National Book Award-winning author of "What ISaw and How I Lied ""A lush, dreamy page-turner that will live forever in the hearts of its readers. Pia may be the perfect antidote for those suffering from Katniss withdrawal." --Josh Sundquist, author of the national bestseller "Just Don't Tell"", Pia has always known her destiny. She is meant to start a new race, a line of descentants who will bring an end to death. She has been bred for no other purpose, genetically engineered to be immortal and raised by a team of scientists in a secret compound hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. Now those scientists have begun to challenge her, with the goal of training her to carry on their dangerous work. For as long as she can remember, Pia's greatest desire has been to fulfil their expectations. But on the night she turns seventeen, she finds a hole in the seemingly impenetrable fence that surrounds her sterile home. Free in the jungle for the first time in the life, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Unable to resist, she continues sneaking out to see him. As they fall in love, they begin to piece together the truth about Pia's origin a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever. Origin is a beautifully told, electric new way to look at an age-old desire- to live forever. But is eternal life worth living if you can't spend it with the one you love?

    I saw this punch and was impressed with the offer from the merchant. So I bought it. Not only is it a fancy corner punch, if you measure an extra 1/4 inch around a photo, you can make a frame for the photo :) I am very happy I ordered it and played around. The punch was in excellent condition. The seller was very nice. The item was bubble wrapped and then wrapped in a free form cardboard package. It was very secure and did not suffer and shipping damage :)
