Genetic
experimentation has ruined the world.
All Elliot North has ever known is that since then, her people, the
Luddites, have ruled the world, to control the Reduced and keep it safe from
further genetic experimentation.
But Elliot’s family estate is dying – her father and her sister do
nothing to improve their property.
And things have been especially bad since Elliot’s friend Kai left –
without her. Now foreigners have
come to the estate, renting part of it to build a new type of ship, one that
may help the island connect with the rest of the world. But Kai has returned with them and
Elliot is torn between her strict upbringing, her love for the estate and her
love for Kai.
Honestly, I have never
read Persuasion, and if it hadn’t been mentioned on the cover, I would have
never cared. And students will not
care; they will just enjoy watching the forces in Elliot’s universe as they
separate, intermingle and collide.
