Lucien has everything he needs: a loving mama, a library full of books, and House of Earth, a private school nestled safely in the woods of upstate New York. It's where Lucien is taught the importance of living in harmony with nature and building a peaceful and sustainable future. But when his youthful curiosity draws him into town and to Gabrielle, a public-school student living a life wholly different from his own, Lucien's inquisitiveness about life beyond the commune and questions regarding the events of 9/11 threaten to unbalance everything he thought he knew. Slowly, things begin to change at House of Earth. The outside world is off limits. Security measures tighten. New rules are put in place, and anyone who violates them is asked to leave and never spoken of again. As forbidden questions pile up, Lucien's willingness to obey weakens. Continuing to meet Gabrielle in secret only reinforces his gnawing fear that something about his world is terribly wrong. Unable to remain silent any longer, Lucien will soon discover that looking for answers at House of Earth may be the most dangerous rule he can break. 650 0 $a Communal living $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Courage $x Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20220602023909.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220401010807.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220205011726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E39C66EE865111ECBDD78B5156ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
