Written by Todd Strasser
I have always enjoyed Todd Strasser’s books. This is a great story about another world and how teens survived it. Very imaginative creatures are described and there are parallels with a few classic novels, including Moby Dick. Twists and turns and a surprise ending will make this book your new favorite.
