Students, Children, and Life-Long Readers,
Scott Westerfield introduces a new sci-fi adventure that reminds me of the thrilling TV series LOST. Our main characters start out on an airplane making their way to a robotics competition in Japan and flying over the Arctic. Suddenly there is a mysterious issue with the plane and our characters wake up to the wreckage of a plane. Has the plan the plane crashed???
But there is so much more to question? Where are all of the other passengers? Everyone has disappeared except for a select few teenagers. And where did they crash? In a warm and humid tropical jungle. How did they arrive here when they were flying above the Arctic.
As these children learn about their companions, they realize that this is no ordinary island with the forces of physics being challenged and changed for a rude awakening to our characters.
This book is filled with mystery as they must decide not only how to survive on their own, but how to learn the truth about their new home.
