Remarkable dystopian fiction told in the sharp voice of a heroine with a chip on her shoulder
Most of the world is burning or flooded. The temperate zones are still habitable, and one small island is teeming with climate refugees. Life in the Badlands is dangerous, disease-ridden, violent, and controlled by gangsters and terrorists. But Valentina lives high in the privileged Citadel, at the heart of the heavily protected Green Zone. She is the president’s daughter, sheltered, spoiled, and arrogant. When she makes a secret trip to the Badlands, however, with her friends, Pippa and Damian, she is forced to face up to the realities of life on the island and to the responsibilities her position brings with it. Features a map and a glossary.

About the Author:
Kevin McDermott works in teacher education and is the editor of Teaching English magazine.
Review:
"McDermott skilfully links his speculative vision of a possible future with intriguing echoes of the country’s history and, in the process, gives us a novel ambitious in its scope and impressive in its attainment." —Irish Times
"This caustic and profane teenager lives in our imagination, much as does Princess Mia in Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries. This is the work of an author playing adroitly to his strengths." —Books for Keeps
