In the year 2100, as the island of Wing is about to be covered by water, fifteen-year-old Mara discovers the existence of New World sky cities that are safe from the storms and rising waters, and convinces her people to travel to one of these cities in order to save themselves. (Synopsis from Nagel Middle School Destiny Catalog)

  4. I think the setting of exodus is awesome. its like a hundred years into thefuture yet there is little futuristic technology in a world thats all ocean they live on a teeny island in the middle of the ocean with no contact to the outside world just trying to survive in the storms and heatbut their island is slowly flooding when the island totally floods they try to find refuge and get trapped in a boat camp with thousands of sick and dying people with nothing to eat

  9. The setting is unique because the story takes place .in 2099 so it takes place in the future so that may not be what it really is like. I think the setting does take away from the story because you start thinking about what you hope the future will be like and you don't think about the book

  10. I am really enjoying Exodus- it is a real page-turner! The first thing that caught my eye was that it took place in 2099- when all of the icebergs are melting, and are consuming the island of Wing. 15-year old Mara knows that if the citizens of Wing do not do something soon, they will all drown and die. Using her cyberwizz (computer) she searches the Weave, a near-dead search engine that consists of nearly nothing anymore. She finds information that there may be a city out there willing to take in all of Wing. After persuading her neighbors, Wing packs into lifeboats, and sails out in search of the new world, aka New Mungo. After weeks of sickness and starvation, they can see the island, but the sea policed are angry that they arrived, and begin shooting at them. Will Mara and the former residents of Wing make it in to New Mungo unharmed? Well...you've gotta read it to find out!
