Gr 9 Up—In a future world ravaged by climate change, sisters Cee and Kasey will do anything to get back to each
other in the wake of Cee's disappearance. Sisterly love is leveraged against the greater good in this gripping and
eerily plausible sci-fi thriller.

I wanted to love this book but this is not for me.
  jessiewinterspring | Jan 30, 2024 |
I enjoyed certain parts of this book a lot. I think it had a very strong ending, and the twist was a very good one. I do feel like the end kind of got bogged down in both the writing and the way it was trying to convey it's message. I'm all for the message of we need to take better care of the earth and climate change is a pressing issue, but it felt like the message was being so pushed that the story suffered from it. That being said, I enjoyed all of the characters a lot, as well as the differences in the setting for each of them. ( )

Book description
Cee has been trapped on an abandoned island for three years without any recollection of how she arrived, or memories from her life prior. All she knows is that somewhere out there, beyond the horizon, she has a sister named Kay, and it’s up to Cee to cross the ocean and find her.

In a world apart, 16-year-old STEM prodigy Kasey Mizuhara lives in an eco-city built for people who protected the planet―and now need protecting from it. With natural disasters on the rise due to climate change, eco-cities provide clean air, water, and shelter. Their residents, in exchange, must spend at least a third of their time in stasis pods, conducting business virtually whenever possible to reduce their environmental footprint. While Kasey, an introvert and loner, doesn’t mind the lifestyle, her sister Celia hated it. Popular and lovable, Celia much preferred the outside world. But no one could have predicted that Celia would take a boat out to sea, never to return.

Now it’s been three months since Celia’s disappearance, and Kasey has given up hope. Logic says that her sister must be dead. But nevertheless, she decides to retrace Celia’s last steps. Where they’ll lead her, she does not know. Her sister was full of secrets. But Kasey has a secret of her own.
