Set in a future where rising sea levels have turned countries into floating islands, Neoma and her best friend Jag are an inseparable fishing and salvage team. But when uninvited visitors from the Island of the Sun government show up and take Jag away, Neoma must embark on a daring sea voyage to rescue her friend.

If you're into authors such as Des Hunt, you'll enjoy the latest from this award-winning NZ author.

Neoma's journey won't be an easy one, as the seas are filled with dangers such as crocodiles, sharks, and even pirates for her to contend with.

This is a great book if you're into mystery stories too, as Neoma wants to find out not only who this mysterious new government is, but also what they want with her peaceful island home.

Bren's novels also have a strong environmental theme, and this one is no different, as Neoma's island community tries to live a sustainable life without modern technology.

Overall, this is an exciting and timely story from an award-winning name in children's writing, and perfect if you're a fan of this genre.
