Description

Astie's 12th birthday is approaching, but she still hasn't chosen her thesis. On Elemental Island, all Learners have picked theirs years ago. Her life would be unbearable without her cousin Jakob. When Astie meets Danny, who has landed in a forbidden flight machine, everything changes.

As they try to evade the Monitors and protect Danny, Astie discovers his reason for coming to the island. What she finds will challenge the foundations of this secretive island utopia where science and logic rule. This novel explores and celebrates differences in people from an alternative perspective.

A engaging read for children aged 8-13, Elemental Island is a story about forging friendships and discovering unique qualities in unexpected ways.
