It’s the year 2100 and Earth is underwater due to global warming. Communication with all parts of the world has ceased to exist because…what other parts of the world are left? Mara and her friends and family live on Wing, an island that has managed to survive the massive rising waters—until now. The people on Wing assume that there are other people somewhere in the world living on islands like they are…but they have no idea where. Little do they know that Mara uses her antique cyberwizz (similar to a laptop) each night to try to find a way to save their lives.

Sure enough, Mara discovers that not all of Earth’s inhabitants have drowned! Instead, the people appear to now live in new cities built high over the seas on things like stilts, safely protected from the rising waters. Curiously, these cities have towering walls all around them. Confident that this is the answer the people of Wing have been looking for, Mara convinces everyone that making the dangerous trip across unknown waters to this new sky city will save them all. After all, they wouldn’t be turned away once they finally arrive there, right?

This is a great book, sure to be enjoyed even by readers who aren’t normally fans of science fiction. Exodus is the first book in a planned trilogy, and I’m anxious to see what’s going to happen in the coming novels. The characters are likable and the author offers an interesting—if not scary—view of the future.
