INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 In another world, people send their dead into a gaping hole in the ocean called the Drain. Twelve-year-old Alec and his orphaned thief friend Wren live on Edgeland, an island beside the Drain where funerals are the main industry. When a funeral-robbing scheme gone wrong sends Alec and Wren into the Drain, the pair--and readers--journey rather aimlessly through the dystopian fantasyland's purgatory.
