Bookroo's summary

In 2099, melting ice caps have drowned most of the world. When the sea threatens to swallow her island home, fifteen-year-old Mara persuades her people to set out across the ocean in search of a new beginning. What they find forces Mara to fight for survival, and for a place in a harsh, unfamiliar world.

From the publisher

In a drowned world, can refuge be found? Less than a hundred years from now, the world as we know it has disappeared beneath the sea. Only fifteen-year-old Mara has the vision and the will to lead her people in search of a new beginning in this harsh, unfamiliar world. Booklist Science Fiction/Fantasy Top 10 for Youth “This sweeping, futuristic fantasy envisions a ravaged Earth, submerged almost entirely in water after a century of global warming . . . wholly imagined, extraordinarily vivid worlds.” –Booklist, starred review “Ecologically conscious teens will embrace this girl who is destined to save humanity.” –School Library Journal “Intellectually rigorous and bursting with humanity, this is a book to be read again and again.” –Sunday Herald (UK)
