My granddaughter was reading this book over Christmas and left it for me to read. Part dystopian fantasy, part mystery and adventure, the story is really a coming-of-age story whose main character is a girl of 12.
Ariel and her best friend, Zeke find their lives changed radically when two strangers enter their tight knit village. The book is a beautifully written description of the physical environment of their world and matches in expressiveness the author’s ability to articulate a young woman/girl’s inner feelings. I’m looking forward to book two taking up the further adventures of this engaging character.
Boomsbury, 2009, 372 p.
