Bookroo's summary

In a world ravaged by floods, young survivors Baz and Ray secure spots on X-Isle, a supposed haven. But the island, under the control of the fanatical Preacher John, is anything but safe. As violence looms, the boys devise a daring plan to build a weapon for their protection. Can they complete it in time, and will they have the courage to use it to escape the island's grip? Tension mounts as they navigate this treacherous new world, where every decision could mean life or death.

From the publisher

Ever since the floods came and washed the world away, survivors have been desperate to win a place on X Isle, the island where life is rumoured to be easier than on what’s left of the mainland. Only young boys are in with a chance, the smaller and lighter the better. Baz and Ray are two of the lucky few to be chosen.
