Sea levels are rising, which panics the residents of Wing, a small island in the North Atlantic. Fifteen-year-old Mara Bell has explored the Weave, and learned of a New World: cities rising from the sea and into the sky. And so Wing's residents leave en masse in boats...In order to leave out spoilers, I'll be vague. But within these pages are three extraordinary settings, and the novel is comprised of so many genres that there really is something for everyone: Young adult, futuristic, apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, science, ecology, fantasy, history, refugees, prophecy, technology, cyberpunk, poetry, family secrets, humanity, social commentary, and probably others I've forgotten to mention.The first part is the most emotional; the second part needs more explanation (likely found in subsequent novels); and the third part is technologically fascinating. First published in 2002, Exodus is still completely relevant. It's unlike anything I've read before, and is simply amazing. The good news is that the sequel, Zenith, has already been released. The bad news is that we still have to wait for the final part of the trilogy, Aurora.
