The Roar by Emma Clayton shared by chkev

The Roar is a fiction book based on twins who have supernatural power along with other mutants. The story is set in the future city of London and the Animal Plague. Throughout the book they find their entire life was built on lies. Before the main storyline, Ellie (one of the twins), was kidnapped by the main villain in the book, Mal Gorman. Ellie, who was being held by Mal Gorman, escaped on a Pod Fighter, a device for two to fly on to London to see her brother. After a skilled chase, she was shot down by Mal's people and recaptured in a coffin. Mika, her brother, feels pain in his bed as all that occurred, so he was sent to the hospital. At the hospital, the government finds out about his webbed feet mutation. Soon, he is sent to see a psychiatrist named Helen who tells him to play the newest game after drinking Fit Mix, which makes people get strong and grow. Everyone plays it and flocks to the arcade after school. Even though they live in the "Shadows", a dark, poor place where people ate moss, they still gathered at the arcade. The game was called Pod Fighter, a simulation where kids fly a real Pod Fighter. On the first week, Mika had already adapted to all the controls and instinctively manned the Pod. However, he needed a good gunner by his side. Right before a big competition, he met Audrey, a really good gunner. As a team, they rose to the top of the first round and won. At the second round, they went to a plastic beach resort because there were no real ones. There, they ate real food (not the moss they were used to) and learned how to use a harpoon gun and how to scuba dive. As the test, they had to shoot robotic fish in schools. The organizers of the contest showed him how to move something with his eyes because he was special and took the right tablets. In the final test of the second round they shot sharks that were attacking seals. Unfortunately, Mika himself was shot by accident. The final round was held at Cape Wrath. They used Telekinesis in the first test to see who was strongest of the group. Ellie was in Cape Wrath as well, and both twins sensed their presence. Mika was put in a labyrinth and found his way to a pit full of robot wolves. He was put in a cage and ferried across. There, Mal Gorman himself chose six of the nine remaining finalists and told them to come back tomorrow. At night in the luxury home he won, Mika heard booms and a mob of people from the Shadows wrecked all the luxury homes above them. To escape, they stole a Pod Fighter and went over the Wall that separates London from the rest of the world. He sees a forest there but all are supposed to be dead. They were attacked by a few robotic hawks but got to Gorman's place. As promised, he saw Ellie and both literally glowed and flew in a Pod to London.
