Reviews
"Tenjat is a farmer who wants more than a life of planting cassava on the shores of hell. Hell is their ocean, which is filled with naga monsters that feed on people who get too close to the shore. The teen wants to be a Handler, one who fights the nagas and helps support their island--a massive Turtle on which the islanders live. He does not want to be a farmer or a father who slows down the island by bearing children. In spite of the pleas of his sister, Eflet, Tenjat refuses to get married, and joins the Handlers, even though the group might have been the cause of his parents' death years ago. Eflet has many secrets of her own though, and they could change the way Tenjat has understood their world. As the protagonist hones his fighting skills, a budding romance with his trainer complicates his internal conflict. The world-building is clear and well-developed; details about the setting's mythology are deftly integrated into Tenjat's story and will engage high fantasy fans. Themes of marriage, family, friendship, and loyalty are evident throughout and are not overly done." -- School Library Journal "A magical fantasy with legs (and flippers)." -- Booklist "Totally fresh." -- Kirkus Reviews A fantastic adventure set in a stunning, original world, Drift is the kind of book that draws you in so completely that you'll believe you are living on an island on the back of a turtle, fighting off water spirits, and claiming your own magical treasures. Some of the best worldbuilding I've ever read. " -- Sarah Beth Durst, author of VESSEL and CONJURED Junior Library Guild Selection, Junior Library Guild Top Shelf for Middle School Readers, VOYA, "Hutchins draws on ancient lore about a cosmic turtle and creates a world in which people live on the backs of the large creatures... A magical fantasy with legs (and flippers)." -- Booklist "Original worldbuilding and cosmology spice up a save-the-world romantic adventure... Readers will find watching Hutchins' unusual magical rules bring about startling consequences for family and political structure utterly fascinating. Totally fresh." -- Kirkus Reviews "Well-developed characters match the complex setting... Fantasy and speculative fiction fans are the obvious audience here, but readers of historical fiction or those interested in a more anthropological take on the battle between good and evil may find this to their liking as well." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The world-building is clear and well-developed; details about the setting's mythology are deftly integrated into Tenjat's story and will engage high fantasy fans.
