The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
4.0

I was torn with The Emerald Atlas. There were times I hated it, times I loved it, and times I could only shake my head in wonder. There were some overdone elements - the kids being "orphaned", there being a prophecy, etc. but overall The Emerald Atlas is a remarkable well told, hilarious, heart wrenching adventure all of its own.
