Zenith Award-winning by Julie Bertagna (author)

Sixteen-year-old Mara and her shipload of refugees are tracking the North Star, desperate to find a new homeland in the melted ice mountains of Greenland, at the very top of the world. But as they sail into uncharted waters, the vast floating city of Pomperoy is just one of the shocks that they will come across. Unwittingly, the refugees bring catastrophe in their wake for Tuck, a gypsea pirate-boy, and also for Ilira – a land whose inhabitants exist in a state of terror at the world’s peak. Meanwhile, back in the drowned ruins beneath his towering sky city, Fox begins his battle with the cruel, corrupt forces that rule the New World. With Mara an ocean away, he must plot a lonely revolution…
