Other Side of the Island

Allegra Goodman (2008), 272 pages
Audience: 5th Grade - 8th Grade
It is the eighteenth year of Enclosure, long after The Flood has destroyed the Earth and its inhabitants. Ten-year-old Honor and her parents have just moved to Island 365. Here, sky color is regulated and it almost never rains. Every family follows the rules, like obeying curfew and praying to Earth Mother. That is, every family except for Honor's. To begin with, Honor has a brother. The Corporation permits each family to have only one child. Strange things begin happening to Honor's parents and then the strangest thing of all happens-they disappear! Where have they gone? Journey with Honor as she finds out where her parents have gone, as well as other secrets of the Corporation.
