DON'T BE DNA REGULAR. BE GENERATION MANIFESTATION. The Genetic Wars that turned most of the planet into a wasteland are over. The so-called "dregs" (DNA regulars) and superpowered Supergenics now live separately from each other-the Supergenics in the shiny towers of Jupitar City; the dregs across the river in the squat concrete buildings of the boroughs. But some dreg parents bear Supergenic children; under repressive laws, they must be sent to live with their own kind. THEY ARE GEN M. To find these special few, every teen faces Testing Day. When her turn comes, socially isolated Caitlin Feral is determined to Manifest powers like the heroes in the comic book propaganda she loves. If she fails, she faces a lifetime of loneliness and drudgery in the boroughs. How much is Caitlin willing to sacrifice to be a supergirl? When she uncovers dark secrets, does she dare start another war to reveal the truth?

About the Author
In grade two, Steven wrote a not-so-breathtaking poem for his school's literary anthology. He's been a writer ever since. His experience includes writing/producing for CBC TV, a short film and reality stint at OUTtv, and penning some award-winning, bestselling novels.
He came out in his late teens and feeling like an outsider has deeply impacted his sensibility. He loves writing that combines sass, heart, speculative fiction, and (where appropriate) abs. Basically, shows like Buffy, Teen Wolf and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. He has written several books about teenaged superheroes that have been described by fans as "dynamic," "written beautifully," where he "works magic in developing characters"and has action that is "new and different and not your typical YA superhero adventure story." Reviewers agree! "Bereznai has the imagination of Stan Lee with the wit of RuPaul." -- Michael Pihach, IN magazine "I love Bereznai's characters and hope they come to your rescue the way they rescued me." -- Tom Cardomone, The Lavender Menace: Tales of Queer Villainy Steven is based in Toronto, and you can follow him @ stevenbereznai.com, on Instagram @stevenbereznai, and on facebook @GenerationManifestation!Reviews
"Katniss Everdeen who? Caitlin Feral is here to start a revolution even bigger than the girl on fire! Generation Manifestation is insane! Think, The Hunger Games meets X-Men. This action-packed dystopian tale explores wrongs and rights, villains and heroes; we experience the courage of fighting a system that is not what it seems." --Sam, Short and Sweet Reviews By Sam
"I LOVED THIS! ... it's on my list of the best books I've ever read ... I can compare it with Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. And with Hunger Games. And with X-Men." --Elizabeth Sagan, MyBookFeatures "This is a somewhat quick read but it is packed with so much going on. This dystopian world is filled with mutated beasts, super humans, and regular humans which are known as dregs. The story has a shadow of 1984 throughout it as well as a bit of a Divergent feel ... In my opinion, this is a great read and one that anyone and everyone into fantasy, dystopian, super humans, and action-packed adventures should pick up." --Teo W, IMOGBUW "It was a wild ride that kept me reading." --Jennifer, Goodreads "The story was extremely well written, and perfect for someone like me, that likes to cheer for the underdog, but doesn't necessarily like super-power-wielding heroes. The author did a fantastic job of posing the question: what if the superheroes were the villains? And crafting that into a delightfully sinister future. I loved every minute of it." --Cary M, Author Unpublished "A phenomenal book. It epitomizes the best of its genre. ... If you're in the market for dystopian YA fiction it doesn't get much better than Generation Manifestation. The characters all evolve harmoniously throughout the book to complement the plot, but not always in the way you might expect. With a lot of action, suspense, and some dark turns, it is perfectly paced. Once you start, it's a hard book to put down." --Leo I, Goodreads "This book has similarities to series such as Divergent and Marvel/DC series but the author makes it his own universe by having unique characters, well drawn up world building and an engaging plot where every guess you make will be wrong.... I loved the inclusiveness of this book, the author does not shy away from topics such as gender identity, neuro diversity and disabilites." --Nicole, Goodreads "This was a great dystopian story of the haves and the have nots, with what the have having is just a bit different than your usual city behind a wall. I am ready for book 2 now (checking watch) ok, REALLY ready for book 2 now!!" --Suzanne, Goodreads
