Rendition Supposing Books Mirage (Above World #2)
A thrilling sequel from an exciting new voice in middle-grade sci-fi tracks two ocean-born children braving the dangers of the Above World.The desert is no place for ocean-dwelling Kampii like Aluna and Hoku, especially now that Aluna has secretly started growing her tail. But the maniacal Karl Strand is out to conquer the Above World, and the horselike Equians are next on his list. Aluna, Hoku, and their friends — winged Calli and Equian exile Dash — race to the desert city of Mirage, intent on warning the Equians. When they arrive, Strand’s clone, Scorch, has gotten there first. Now the Equian leader has vowed to take all his people to war as part of Strand’s army. Any herd that refuses to join him by the time of the desert-wide competition known as the Thunder Trials will be destroyed. To have any chance of defeating Scorch and convincing the Equians to switch sides, the four friends must find a way to win the Trials. The challenge seems impossible. But if they fail, the desert — and possibly all of the Above World — will be lost to Karl Strand forever. Here is the action-packed follow-up to Above World, which Kirkus Reviews called "a thrilling sci-fi adventure. Imaginative and riveting."

Karl Strand and his clones are going after slaves and energy sources, and the group heads out to warn Dash's people, the centaur Equians, next. But Karl's clone, Scorch, has already laid plans. And Dash risks much in returning to the people from whom he has been exiled . . .This book takes everything I liked about the first and ramps it up a notch. Aluna and her friends live with the EquiansAluna now knows the dangerous nature of Karl Strand. He and his clones are not only ready to sacrifice the Kampii, but also the others of the world: Aviars, Equian, and even others she has yet to meet. As she and her best friends, Hoku, Calli and Dash, rush to unite those unaware of impending dangers, other life issues rear their heads. Quickly the youths learn about friendship, young love, honor, integrity and the meaning of family.Jenn, my friend, you have outdone yourself. This second in the
This was good, and not just because it had centaurs and snake people. This is the sequel to Above World and gives us even more splinters to avidly discuss with our friends. There are not a lot of books that have centaurs so I was very interested in how the author depicted their culture. In my opinion this was better than the first one although not by much. My only fault was the super short super awkward love triangle. I really don't understand why every author with even a little bit of romance

Disclaimer: Jenn Reese is a friend and colleague. I read this book pre-publication. It's rare that a novel successfully balances the epic and the intimate, but MIRAGE nails it. As with ABOVE WORLD, the first book in this middle-grade series, MIRAGE treats us to a large-scale adventure, with a primitive, fallen world teeming with imaginative techno-creatures inspired by mythology: mermaids, centaurs, harpies, and more. The pace is fast, the battles are big, and the stakes are large. But MIRAGE

Any tribe that refuses to join him by the time of the Thunder Trials will be destroyed.Our four young heroes go to live with Dash's former tribe as prisoners. Once there
