The Matched trilogy is a young adult, dystopian fiction series written by American author Ally Condie, set in a centrally governed society. The Society seems to be formed after an apocalyptical global warming event. The novel Matched was published by Dutton Penguin in November 2010 and reached number three on the Children's Chapter Books bestseller list in January.[1][2][3] Previously working with a small, Utah-based publisher (Deseret Book Co.), Condie took her manuscript to Penguin Random House, after being advised to do so from her director at Deseret Book. This helped the novel reach a national audience.[4] The Matched novel has been optioned to the Walt Disney Company for a film adaptation.[5] Foreign rights were sold to 30 countries before publication.[5][6] The second book, Crossed, was published in November 2011, and Reached, published November 2012, completed the trilogy.
