![]() ![]() Which her friend Hoku, a tech made boy, she journeys above the water. ![]() But the conservative Elders refuse to venture to the one place where a solution might be found-the Above World enclave where the devices were made.Īluna, headstrong and defiant of the gender stereotypes of her society (one in which girls are kept safe so that they can make babies), sets out to find this place herself (while she still has her legs). The Kampii depend on ancient technology from the Above World, and when Aluna finds one of her friends, drowned, she realizes that this technology is beginning to fail. Thirteen-year-old Aluna is about to grow her tail, and become one of the adult Kampii-a people who live hidden in the safety of the ocean, in the City of Shifting Tides. ![]() Above World, by Jenn Reese (Candlewick, 2012, mg/YA, 368 pages) ![]()
