A gripping, almost adult tale of "lost" children - show more genetically mutated so badly that no-one wants them, that society doesn't even know they exist, and as they slowly die from their illnesses and ignorance, the last 4 children try to escape to the "sky boat". show less

at first I found it very hard to get into it because of the language. But after I understood what they were saying I found myself really enjoying the book. it has just the right amount of sadness to pull on your heart strings without it seeming that the kids are always after sympathy. For kids that don't know any better I think they came across as very strong minded.
Really good book :).
