What this book is about
Adrienne Young's first World of the Narrows novel follows Fable, a skilled dredger who has survived four years alone on a treacherous island after her father left her there. When the opportunity to escape comes in the form of West, the trader's son who was present when she was abandoned, she must decide who to trust. Young's maritime world is richly detailed; the enemies-to-trust romance is well-paced. Appropriate for older YA readers.
