The Above World by Jenn Reese
Aluna is a modern Kampii. Her father is one of the Kampii elders. Hoku is a Aluna’s best friend. He is also Kampii. Dash is an Equian. He was banished from his tribe. He is an aldagha. That means he was not born as a full Equian. (Dash is only mentioned in the last half of the book.)
Aluna and Hoku go on an adventure to the Above World to find HydroTek and save the world from the evil Fathom and his minions.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a rebel girl who fights like a warrior.

Great book submitted by Squaffle on May 15, 2017, 3:28pm This book was really exciting. It's sort of a mix of sci-fi and fantasy, with great characters and a suspenseful plot
