Synopsis :

Readers who love speculative fiction and crave action-packed stories similar to Veronica Roth’s Divergent series will find The Isle absolutely unputdownable.

Jordana Frankel’s thrilling and imaginative novel The Isle takes up where The Ward left off, with drought season coming to a futuristic flooded New York City and its inhabitants suffering from a deadly disease called the Blight.

With the help of a scientist and a racing buddy, drag racer Ren has found a cure for the disease, and her sister, Aven, is on the mend. But Aven’s unexpected recovery has caught the eye of the evil Governor Voss. And when it comes to light that the cure, miraculous healing water, is the only freshwater source in the area, Governor Voss isn’t the only one after the sisters and their invaluable knowledge. Can they save themselves and their city?

• Sisters Against the World: Drag racer Ren will do anything to protect her sister Aven from a corrupt governor who wants the secret to the healing water flowing in her veins.
• High-Stakes Survival: In a flooded, futuristic New York City ravaged by a plague called the Blight, a miraculous cure becomes the most dangerous secret of all.
• Dystopian Romance: Amidst the chaos of a city on the brink, a fragile alliance—and something more—forms between Ren and a mysterious boy with his own secrets.
• Found Family: Ren isn’t alone. A crew of fellow racers and unexpected allies are her only hope of outmaneuvering a government that wants her silenced.
