Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling like an outsider or struggling to adapt to a major life transition, such as moving to a new country, starting a new school, or navigating the overwhelming sensory demands of modern life. It follows Sky and River, who have lived on a deserted island for fourteen years, as they are thrust into the high-tech, fast-paced world of California. It is a poignant exploration of identity, the definition of family, and the resilience required to find one's voice in a world that feels loud and foreign. While the premise is high-stakes survival, the heart of the story is about the universal teen experience of feeling different. Best suited for ages 12 and up, it offers a safe space to discuss the pressures of societal expectations and the beauty of maintaining one's true self amidst chaos.
