Summary
Remarkable dystopian fiction told in the sharp voice of a heroine with a chip on her shoulder
Most of the world is burning or flooded. The temperate zones are still habitable, and one small island is teeming with climate refugees. Life in the Badlands is dangerous, disease-ridden, violent, and controlled by gangsters and terrorists. But Valentina lives high in the privileged Citadel, at the heart of the heavily protected Green Zone. She is the president’s daughter, sheltered, spoiled, and arrogant. When she makes a secret trip to the Badlands, however, with her friends, Pippa and Damian, she is forced to face up to the realities of life on the island and to the responsibilities her position brings with it. Features a map and a glossary.
