(2) 4-6 Britain's East Anglia is awash--a consequence of global warming. Searching for her missing parents, Zoe makes her way to the town of Ely in a salvaged rowboat, but Ely is no haven: the vicious teenaged Dooby terrorizes his gang and dispatches newcomers without mercy. This first novel is sufficiently taut, accessible, and swift moving to make it an effective cautionary tale. Sedgwick's wood engravings enhance the format.
