The Lost Code?
Emerson (Carlos Is Gonna Get It) launches the Atlanteans series with a
novel that blends post-apocalyptic, SF, and paranormal elements into a
summer camp story. In a future in which climate change has rendered most of
the planet uninhabitable, teenage Owen has gotten a rare scholarship to
Camp Eden, where privileged kids and survivors of cryogenic freezing can
experience a simulation of the biosphere of old. When he almost drowns, he
discovers the camp's hidden secret: Owen and a handful of others (including
his crush, Lilly) have developed gills  and can breathe underwater. Owen is
thrilled by his new abilities and sense of belonging, but when a child at
the camp dies under mysterious circumstances, it becomes apparent that
something sinister is occurring at Camp Eden. As Owen and friends attempt
to figure out who to trust, they uncover more conspiracies about both the
camp and the state of the world. Emerson throws perhaps a little too much
into the book, but the high-stakes narrative moves forward with momentum,
and a romance between Owen and Lilly is gracefully unveiled. Ages 13–up.
Agent: George Nicholson, Sterling Lord Literistic. (May) --Staff (Reviewed
