8th Continent series.
With the eighth-continent settlement now six months old, things are starting to calm down for siblings Rick and Evie; their parents; and their robot-turned-real-bird, 2-Tor (Welcome to the Jungle). Then their house gets destroyed and Evie storms off--just as annoying tourists and bureaucrats arrive to disrupt the settlement.
