Up to Blue: A Brief History of the End

By Tanya Coovadia

In the year of the City, 2675, Skylar is a normal Da Yunese teenager, spending her days posting popular Vids, designing beautiful clothes for school, and printing up the hottest gadgets trending on Proud$pace. Her future is going exactly according to plan. Unfortunately, Skylar hasn't planned for the End. If she had, she would know how to skin a rat. Or shoot a stun. Or start a fire. Because Da Yu City, her beautiful, luxurious utopia in the ocean, is coming to the End. As most of Da Yu's population succumbs to the deadly Chicken croup, the City's automated systems begin to fail. The fooders stop working, the drinking water turns salty, and the printers, once the source of all consumer goods, spew nothing but black algae. Skylar must lead a group of ten other children-including River, the Antisocial from an enigmatic family, and Monifah, engineering wunderkind and Skylar's best friend-to find food, fresh drinking water, and a safe place to sleep. Because the Goners are coming. "UP TO BLUE: A SHORT HISTORY OF THE END" is a post apocalyptic adventure novel which, while aimed at young adults, has a mature tone and literary bent that should appeal to readers of all ages.
