Brief
The Klu Klux Klan has spent years grooming generations of Klansmen to infiltrate the highest levels of power. When they have, they close the borders of countries and states to keep people in their own racial groups. A group of young people are breaking free from the confines of their world to explore and learn what is beyond.

Accuracy of Book Profile
The book profile accurately reflects the book.
Draw of Story
What drew me into the book was the brutality described in the first scene of a lynching. It is an interesting concept that the KKK takes a different approach to infiltrate the ideology of the world and create havoc in the name of order.
Possible Drawbacks
The KKK is a sensitive subject as an African American person. It is a horrifying thought that they would amass that kind of power. While they are meant to be the villains, it was uncomfortable especially in these current times.
Use of Special Effects
THE STORY DOES NOT RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS
Primary Hook of Story
The hook is that the KKK is successful with pushing their agenda and are able to segregate races for generations.
Fanbase Potential
This could have a large fanbase if marketed as a young adult adaptation like Hunger Games.
Awards Potential
As it stands, this does not have award potential.
Envisioned Budget
LARGE BUDGET

What’s New About the Story
As it is right now, there isn't anything about the story that is original. I think keeping the KKK aspect of it makes it different.
Lead Characters
There is nothing about the lead characters that stand out. There are so many characters in this story that none of them are very developed.
Uniqueness of Story
This is an average story that could be a gem if developed properly. There is a lot of excessive information when time can be spent building the world and developing the story.

Analyst Recommendation
WORK IN PROGRESS
Justification
While the story has many positive points, it has room for improvement (see possible paths below). If you can't change the story at this point, my suggestion is using your notes as a guide to highlight the best aspects of it when taking the next steps, either putting a pitch page together, a treatment, or a presentation.
Tips for Improvement
The beginning and the end do not connect. This feels like two separate stories with a very minor common thread.
