Rook and Gage live worlds apart -- but somehow they must find a way
to help one another survive. Trapped in a life she didn't choose,
Rook struggles to find meaning in her appointed role as an
apprentice Keeper of ArHK. Even though her mam soothes her with
legends of the Outside and her da assures her there are many
interesting facts to discover in the Archives, Rook sees only
endless years of tracking useless information. Then one day Rook
discovers historic footage of the Chosen Ones arriving in ArHK, and
she begins to realize her mam's legends are more than bedtime
stories. That's when Rook begins her perilous and heartbreaking
search for the limitless sky. Gage is also trapped. Living on the
frontier line with his family, his is a life of endless moving and
constant danger. As he works with the other scouts, Gage searches
for the Ship of Knowledge to help his society regain the wonders of
the long distant past, when machines transported people across the
land, illnesses could be cured, and human structures rose high into
the sky. Will Rook and Gage escape the traps and perils that await
them in order to save each other's worlds? If they don't, it could
very well mean the end of humanity.

2016 VOYA Top Shelf Fiction Selection Anna has always been so
level-headed, so easy-going, so talented and funny. How could
anyone have guessed she wanted to die? Anna is not like other
people. She’s always felt like she didn’t belong: not with
other kids, not with her family, not in her body. It isn’t until
her grandparents are killed in a tragic accident, however, that
Anna starts to feel untethered. She begins to wonder what it would
be like if she didn’t exist, and the thought of escaping the
aimless drifting is the only thing that brings her comfort. When
Anna overdoses on prescription painkillers, doctors realize she has
been suffering from depression and start looking for a way to help
her out of the desperate black hole she never thought she would
escape. It’s then that rock bottom comes into sight and the
journey back to normal begins.
