Sometime in the future after ‘The Flood’, ten year old Honor moves to Island 365 in the Tranquil Sea with her parents who are both free spirits refusing to conform to the bland controlled society which dominates the island. It is the eighteenth glorious year of Enclosure when the northern parts of the world are supposedly kept safe by Earth Mother and her Corporation who have created New Weather.

To hold on to memories of life outside the Colonies or to be unpredictable is suspect as Honor and Helix, the boy she befriends at school, discover. A totally compelling distopian novel for upper primary/ lower secondary readers fascinating both for the ideas it raises about conformity and society and its gripping tale of danger and flight.
