McConnochie, Mardi

4-6
This equally fast-paced, action-driven sequel to The Flooded Earth begins with a storm at sea, three weeks after twins Will and Annalie and their friends escaped Little Lang Lang Island. McConnochie expands the setting of her post-Flood world--sending the characters to distant lands and introducing new cultures as they continue to search for the twins' father--while also exploring the scientific and ethical challenges of climate-altering technology.

In a futuristic world suffering the effects of a catastrophic flood, twins Annalie and Will set sail in search of their father after agents of the dictatorial Admiralty come looking for him. McConnochie creates memorable images of abandoned waterfront communities and effectively develops technical and governing structures. The plot-driven adventure is deepened by interactions and revelations that shape the characters.
