Marvelous book! My 5 stars and my applause (no, I'm not a guy... I just like this animated gift )Well, without spoil the story I can say some things...* All the story is Ty's POV. I enjoy this wise choice of the writer. It's so rare to read a YA book with a guy as narrator. I love Ty voice.* Gemma, the main female character, is so brave! Looking for her brother she affront all her fears without second thoughts! SOOOO BRAVE! Love her!* The adventure of this book never ends! True! My advice is:Post global warming- the new frontier is under the sea.
