![]() ![]() ![]() The found family is strong in this book, and both the platonic and romantic relationships will make you cry. The characters are complex and undergo so much growth during their formative teenage years. It's a novel about surviving four years in the most unusual of schools, about friendship, falling in love, diplomacy, and finding your own place in the world - even if it means giving up your phone. In Other Lands is an amazing read that balances the politics and hopes of peoples who are always at war in a fantasy world. In Other Lands is the exhilarating new book from beloved and best-selling author Sarah Rees Brennan. There's even the chance Elliot might be able to change the world. On the other hand, there's Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there's her human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. It turns out that on the other side of the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training and fewer mermaids than he expected. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to school in the Borderlands. He's smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and - best of all as far as Elliot is concerned - mermaids.Įlliot? Who's Elliot? Elliot is 13 years old. Don't try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border - unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. The Borderlands aren't like anywhere else. ![]()
