Land of Fences, Paperback

Finn and Kas are surviving on the coast--more than surviving: they're enjoying the surf, the summer and being together. And now, the lights of Wentworth mean life could soon be back to normal. Finn is cautiously optimistic, but Kas knows she can never escape her status as a refugee, and that a return to slavery is a very real possibility. She's nervous. And it turns out she's right to be. When Kas is captured and taken inside the fences, Finn faces his greatest challenge yet. Taut and compelling--an exceptional conclusion to the Wilder Trilogy for teens, about resilience and self-reliance.
