Review: The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman

The Other Side of the IslandThe Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


An interesting look at a world where weather (and everything else in life) is strictly controlled. The Earth Mother and her Corporation have "enclosed" the sky, protecting inhabitants from all kinds of scary natural weather. They also control the food, the schools, jobs, what people think about anything, etc. Honor is a ten-year-old girl who dares to question the Corporation and what is on the infamous "other side of the island."

I liked this creative and creepy book and the characters that the author created.
