R209 Discovery Miles 2 090 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Animals, trees, flowers, our city forbids them all...

Juniper Greene lives in a walled city from which nature has been banished, following the outbreak of a deadly man-made disease many years earlier. While most people seem content to live in such a cage, she and her little brother Bear have always known about their resistance to the disease, and dream of escaping into the wild. To the one place humans have survived outside of cities. To where their mother is.

When scientists discover that the siblings provide the key to fighting the disease, the pair must flee for their lives. As they journey into the unknown, they soon learn that there's cruelty in nature as well as beauty. Will they ever find the home they’re searching for?

A thrilling and thought-provoking ecological adventure from a fresh new voice in children’s fiction. Perfect for fans of THE EXPLORER, THE LAST WILD and THE ISLAND AT THE END OF EVERYTHING.

This story is both a warning and a celebration: of nature and the threats to it, and the importance of every single person in the fight for our future." Sinead O'Hart, author of The Eye of the North "A gripping story that drew me into its icy clutches with a dystopian climate mystery. Polar bear encounters, dog sled rides, blizzards & hugs with arctic foxes, the action is both chilling and thrilling!"

Thrilling and thought provoking and with powerful ecological messages of stewardship and sustainability - this is storytelling at its very best." Kevin Cobane, teacher "Beyond the Frozen Horizon is a lesson for us all. We must look beyond our own needs and think about impact on the world as a whole... Rory experiences this first hand and takes her readers on a high stakes adventure that will leave them thinking about their place and impact on the world for a very long time." Kate Heap, Scope for Imagination blog "An eco adventure, ghost story and love letter for a better world" Gill Pawley, Inkpots
