"On Island, I never questioned where I belonged, where I'm supposed to be. Now I am a girl without a place." Sky and River have lived on Island for as long as they can remember. They hunt for food in Ocean, swim in Falls, and curl up at night in Shelter. Their life together in this beautiful world is simple and safe. Until River sees a boat... Across Ocean in a place called California, nothing makes sense to Sky. Separated from River and taken to live with a grandmother she doesn't know, Sky wants desperately to find River and return to Island. But when Sky learns that their paradise wasn't as perfect as she thought, and everything she has ever known and loved may have been a lie, she realizes that her search for the truth is just beginning. In this gripping story of love and survival, readers will be swept away by Sky's remarkable journey through a hostile world: ours.
