Sometime in the future, after devastating wars and fires, a lonely, windswept island in the north is populated solely by women. Among these women is a group of teenaged Trackersexpert equestrians and archerswhose job is to protect their shores from the enemy. The enemy, theyve been told, is men. When these girls come upon a partially buried home from the distant past, they are fascinated by the strange objectshighheeled shoes, teen magazines, makeupfound there. What are they to make of these mysterious things, which introduce a world they have never known? And what does it mean for their strict society where friendship is forbidden and rules must be obeyedat all costs? Reminiscent of The Giver but with a feminist twist, Nomansland is a powerful, shocking story that will challenge young readers perspectives and provoke much discussion over the timely and controversial issues presented.
