About This Item
New York:: Scholastic,, (1995). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in a fine dust jacket (as new.). First printing. A post-apocalyptic novel for older children and young adults by this award-winning writer (two Newbery Honor medals, five Coretta Scott King Author Awards, the first Michael L. Printz Award and more). "The Okalians have survived a meteor collision and a long exile from their homeland, and now face certain annihilation at the hands of the Fens, a group of marauding children. Jon, a 15-year-old Okalian, is sent by his parents into the Wilderness to return to the Ancient Land and restore their race to its former greatness. . . Myers masterfully creates a world in which adults are nearly nonexistent and children struggle to establish a life for themselves.. . While this tale is narrated in gray and somber tones, in the end the meteor dust is settling, and the red moon offers a beam of hope."
