À propos de cet e-book
Selected for the Forest of Reading Teen Committee's Summer Reading pick!
Finalist for SYRCA 2018
Following the events of Pulse Point, 12-year old Ama and the other Underlanders living in a world of darkness dig for brine, the City's real energy source. Underland is a dangerous place: cave-ins, starvation and illness are constant threats. When their leader deserts them, Ama goes looking for him and stumbles on two Citizens. Neither knew the other existed.
18-year old Sari lives in the City, blissfully unaware of what goes on beneath her feet. The disappearance of her best friend, Kaia, has left her feeling isolated. A chance encounter with her sister leads her to join a group called the Resistance who are on a secret mission to reveal the secrets the Council keeps hidden.
When Kaia mounts an attack on the City, Sari and Ama are thrown together in a battle that will decide their futures and the fate of the City.
[ Underland ] convincingly portrays the human instinct to resist change opposed to the resilient values of compassion, justice and freedom. . . Underland could be read as a standalone and will be enjoyed by anyone who likes dystopian fiction. - CM: Canadian Review of Materials
Underland inspires faith that a few good people can make the difference and that redemption is possible through transformation - CanLit for LittleCanadians
