(4) YA In a dystopian near future plagued by rising oceans, domestic terrorists called the Wolfpack have overthrown the U.S. government. Eden, who lost her family on "Zero Day," is imprisoned in a camp, biding her time until an escape to neutral-territory Sanctuary Island is possible. The novel's plot is overly complicated, but its real strength is the poetic prose, filled with potent metaphors.
