From a National Book Award winner, plane crash survivors struggle to find safety in the wilderness when they encounter humans who suffered a similar crash.

The harrowing tale of survival takes its most dramatic turn yet when Molly, Yoshi, and the rest discover that there are more than just monsters in the rift in the Earth where they struggle to find food and shelter. There are other kids, too . . . kids who have been surviving in the wilderness much longer for reason both suspicious and supernatural.

The seven-book mega-series begun by #1 *New York Times–*bestselling author Scott Westerfeld ( Uglies) reaches a pivotal turning point as only New York Times bestseller and National Book Award winner Jude Watson could deliver!
