The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman

3.0

Allegra Goodman's first novel for young adults is an occasionally inventive take on a post-global-warming society, where being Inaccurate and Unacceptable are big no-nos. "The Other Side of the Island" has plenty of original elements, but overall feels reminiscent of any number of YA books about totalitarian societies. Recommended, but not necessarily all that new or different.
