Abstract:
Exciting futuristic Young Adult novel with a strong heroine and a compelling storyline from award - winning Fleur Beale. Winner of the Esther Glen Award 2009 and shortlisted for the 2009 NZ Post Children's Book Awards Young Adult category. It explores the struggle of Juno, a young teen on the verge of adulthood, who is torn between her need to fit in and belong in her society, and her growing discomfort and questioning of that society's rules. Your ordinary teen? Not quite! Because Juno lives - in the not - too - distant future - on Taris, a bubble - covered island in the Pacific, to which a select few hundred people were evacuated when Earth's inhabitants took everything just a bit too far and began to self - destruct. On Taris there are many rules governing appearance, behaviour, even procreation .. but all are for the good of the community, to ensure the survival of humankind. Or are they? ..
