    About this audiobook

    In this gorgeously-crafted utopian saga, five friends must find the courage to change the course of the future . . . Mori and her friends live a normal life on Firefly Lane in their utopian community, Old Harmonie. In a world this safe and perfect, they've never had to question anything . . . never had to wonder about how their lives came to be. Until a new girl named Ilana moves in. She's so perfect that Mori and her friends are curious. Where exactly did Ilana come from, and why does she act so strangely sometimes? When Ilana's secret is revealed, the kids on Firefly Lane must decide: is it finally time to start questioning the only world they've ever known? In a stunningly imaginative story, critically acclaimed author Megan Frazer Blakemore takes readers on a journey with five friends--new and old--that will have everyone talking about not just what makes people human, but what makes them true friends.

      Great book! Audiobook really helped me to stay constant. The bond between the Firefly Five at the end is amazing and I’d love to read the sequel!
    • 3/5
      I liked this quite a bit, although there was a too-long section on not liking a friend after learning something about who they are. It's probably age appropriate, but that part seemed to drag for me.

      Mori and her friends on Firefly Lane live in a utopian city called Old Harmonie, sheltered from the outside world. Parents can genetically design their children. When these children turn thirteen, they learn their genetic makeup and obtain certain “enhancements.” A new girl, Ilana, moves to Firefly Lane. Mori and her friends cannot help but notice something is different about Ilana. She is almost too perfect but also strange. As the children of Firefly Lane get curious, they begin to discover the history of their town, and much, much more. Author Megan Frazer Blakemore writes an exciting story keeping the reader curious and desiring more. I enjoyed the back-story of the town of Old Harmonie, the message of friendship, and doing the right thing. THE FIREFLY CODE is well-paced and perfect for classrooms grade four and up.
