Global warming. We hear a lot about it lately. It's hard to fathom, until you read something like this astounding book -- the first of what promises to be a remarkable trilogy. It is 2099, and water covers most of the planet. Mara, fifteen, lives on an island where stormy waves creep further up the shore every day. Technology is almost obsolete, and survival is paramount. Surfing an ancient virtual world, Mara comes across a New World Sky City built above the ruins of Glasgow. She convinces her community to set out in boats to reach such a place, but when they arrive, they join thousands of others clamoring to get in -- a city of refugees shut outside. Following a strong inner calling, Mara courageously finds a way to enter the high-tech gated city, even though it means losing everything she has ever loved.
