As a fan of Megan Shepherd's The Madman's Daughter trilogy, I knew THE CAGE would be a must read for me. The summary intrigued me: teen captives in a human zoo, only this zoo is not of Earthly origin, but rather the alien, otherworldly kind. I couldn't wait to see how Shepherd turns her pen towards science fiction and aliens.
