Hugo & Locus award finalist In Other Lands is an exhilarating
novel from bestselling author Sarah Rees Brennan about surviving
four years in the most unusual of schools - friendship, falling in
love, diplomacy, and finding your own place in the world - even if
it means giving up your phone. Excerpt: The Borderlands aren't like
anywhere else. Don't try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of
technology over the wall that marks the Border - unless you enjoy a
fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.)
There are elves, harpies, and - best of all as far as Elliot is
concerned - mermaids. "What's your name?" "Serene." "Serena?"
Elliot asked. "Serene," said Serene. "My full name is
Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle." Elliot's mouth fell open.
"That is badass." Elliot? Who's Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years
old. He's smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than
a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a
wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to
school in the Borderlands. It turns out that on the other side of
the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training
and fewer mermaids than he expected. On the other hand, there's
Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more
beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there's her
human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. There are
lots of interesting books. There's even the chance Elliot might be
able to change the world.
