(4) 4-6 First-person narrator Trey (who could be a boy or a girl) and Trey's silent brother Lou travel back and forth between their Bahamian island home, threatened by developers, and Pangaia, an overdeveloped otherworld where Lou is the answer to a prophecy that will save both worlds. Cooper's skill as a writer is evident, but the connection between the worlds is tenuous, Lou's role remains vague for too long, and the climax is too abrupt.
