Description
The Territory by Anne Glenn and Sarah Govett is set in a Britain where flooding has made land scarce. To stay in this limited territory, 15-year-olds must pass an exam - those who succeed can remain, while those who fail are sent to the Wetlands. For Noa, a bright and funny teenager, passing the exam is crucial, but she's not sure which path her life will take. Noa's world is one of uncertainty, where social status is determined by family wealth and connections. But for 'Norms' like Noa, success depends on individual merit. As Noa navigates this challenging environment, she must also contend with the complexities of friendships and first loves. The Territory explores themes of identity, class, and resilience in a world where survival is far from guaranteed.
