When Your Number Is Called - Paperback

by Courtney L. Praski (Author)

Hello. My name is Emily Judith Fuller-Elms. When I was born, my parents didn't ask the doctor if I was a boy or a girl, or if I was healthy. Instead, they asked, "What's the number?" You see, in my world, everyone is born with a 12-digit number on their right wrist. What does the number mean exactly? Well-the number gives us the day we will die. My number is 152310232048. This means that at exactly 3:23 PM on October 23rd, 2048-my heart will stop.
