In the future much of the world has been flooded after the Arctic ice cap melted, and with only the temperate zones still habitable, one small island is teeming with climate change refugees. Valentina is one of the lucky ones, living a privileged life in the heavily protected Citadel. She's the president's daughter, sheltered, spoilt and arrogant, but when she makes a secret trip outside the Citadel and into the Badlands, she is forced to face up to the realities of life on the island. First person recount. Suggested level: secondary.
