Deluxe edition with a custom transparent jacket―available on the first printing only!
From the author of H2O and The Storm―She's been taught to fear him. He's been taught to fear her. What if they're both wrong?
In River's world, XYs are a relic of the past, along with things like war and violence. Thanks to the Global Agreements, River's life is simple, safe, and peaceful...until she comes across a body in the road one day. A body that is definitely male, definitely still alive. River isn't prepared for this. There's nothing in the Agreements about how to deal with an XY. Yet one lies before her, sick, suffering, and at her mercy.
River can kill him, or she can save him. Either way, nothing will ever be the same.
Winner of the James Tiptree Jr. Literary Award.

About the Author:
Virginia Bergin is the author of H2O, which The Horn Book Magazine called "Inspiring." She lives in Bristol (UK).
From School Library Journal:
Gr 9 Up-A virus wiped out almost all of the men on Earth. Those not infected were taken to "sanctuaries." Women survived and live in the normal world. The remaining men are used for their sperm to keep the species thriving. Male babies are taken to the sanctuaries after birth. When River stumbles across an XY named Mason, she is shocked but also fearful. He is obviously sick. Should River save him or report him? Although the writing is slow at first, the narrative quickly becomes engaging; the world-building will pull readers in. It is an intriguing premise-what the world would be like run solely by women. There are some disconnects, such as why the men who are being held in pseudo-prisons seem to have access to advanced technology while women see baths and electricity as extravagances. The plot is compelling until the very end, when the story line veers off course and the world-building falls apart. VERDICT An enjoyable quick read for those who love dystopian fiction and won't mind that the internal logic doesn't always pan out.-Jessica Perovich, US Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit Libraryα(c) Copyright 2011.
