Author & Illustrators
Fenn Halflin lives in a world that has been ravaged by floods, where only the elite are allowed to live on the shrinking land that is ruled by the Terra Firma. His adopted grandfather keeps him hidden in a remote location for years until one night he realises that danger is coming and sends Fenn off on a ship that dumps him on the Shanties – a lawless community in the middle of the ocean. A great start to this adventure series, dystopia for younger children with a subtle message about caring for the environment before it’s too late.
