The Other Side of the Island (2008) (edit title/settings)

“I'm kind of on a roll with my dystopian themed books lately. Perhaps if I read The Other Side of the Island apart from this string of books, I would have rated it a little higher. It is an excellent book, and I will definitely recommend it! I would have liked to have had more info on "The Corporation" -- who were they, how did they start???”

It is the eighteenth year of Enclosure, long after The Flood, and Honor and her parents live on Island 365 in the Tranquil Sea.

Honor meets Helix, who slowly helps her uncover a terrible secret about the island. This is an interesting dystopian society story...”
