Bestselling author Joelle Charbonneau's eerily timely, high-stakes page-turner is destined to start important conversations at this particular moment in our history.

Meri Beckley lives in a world without lies. When she looks at the peaceful Chicago streets, she feels pride in the era of unprecedented hope and prosperity over which the governor presides.

But when Meri's mother is killed, Meri suddenly has questions that no one else seems to be asking. And when she tries to uncover her mother's state of mind in her last weeks, she finds herself drawn into a secret world with a history she didn't know existed.

Suddenly, Meri is faced with a choice between accepting the “truth” or embracing a world the government doesn't want anyone to see-a world where words have the power to change the course of a country and where the wrong ones can get Meri killed.

Industry Reviews

“Wow! Shades of Fahrenheit 451 and Orwell's 1984. Painfully real and urgent. Read this book.”
Michael Grant New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series

"[ Verify] builds steadily from simmering disquiet to a shattering final showdown that will leave readers desperate to reach the conclusion and anxious for sequels. Both timely and relevant in the age of fake news... a worthy read that will have readers wondering just how much truth they really want to know."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Words, history, books, and their truths must prevail. Verify is a very timely tale and one that will leave you impatient for the next book in the series."
Becky Anderson Anderson's Bookshops

"At once timely and timeless, Verify reminds us of the power of words and the importance of truth. Thrilling and terrifying, it is an undeniable call to action. Trust but Verify that this is the perfect book for our times."
Rachel Bellavia Read Between the Lynes

"Charbonneau deftly immerses readers in a future that feels unnervingly possible, where truth and history are no longer related to fact. A powerful reminder of the potential we each hold to demand and influence change."
Sara Grochowski McLean & Eakin Booksellers

"This book captured me from start to end and has a crucial message around the power of words and the right we all have to each and every one."
