Oxford Street burned for three weeks; the Regent's Park camps have been bombed. Lalla, 16, has grown up sheltered from the new reality by her visionary father, Michael Paul.

"The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel." (Helen Dunmore)
"A beautiful futuristic fable with huge power to haunt and disturb." (M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts)

The Ship leaves you thinking
Had I been 16 when I read this, the plight of Lalla would have been very familiar in its u certainty. As a grownup and mother, I could view it from s different aspect. It is a novel that creates a perfect discussion ground for parent and teen to discover the connection between being an individual
and ones other roles that are regulated by love. The ship takes on a tenuous topic that few explore so thoroughly. I listened to this on audible and the narration was perfect. No overly contrived voices to detract from the listeners own interpretation of the characters and settings. All in all, a must read!
Where late the sweet bird sings
Meets silent spring... This book was a solid 3.5 to 4 stars. An entrancing story told through the eyes of a teenage girl. It's about a destroyed world and a girl that lived through it because of her parents but never gets to experience it. Worth your time cash or credit. I would also put it the ya genre but very well done. Not like hunger games ect...
Interview with author the saving grace
I listened to the free prequel and was so excited to listen. I kept waiting for it to get better and for the main character to stop being so full of self pity. I hated the ending even more than I hated the ending of the Divergent series.
The saving grace really was the interview with the author at the end. After hearing why she wrote this story and the inspirations for it I felt less negativity towards the book but still very frustrated.
A good YA recommendation
A good YA recommendation.
For small group reading study. Middle Secondary. Capable readers should be able to make links to classics such as "Diary of Anne Frank"
Liked but ended terribly
Hated the ending, returned it because of it. Also never understood why Lalla couldn't just seize the opportunity to become their leader and focus on organic regrowth in order to save them all instead of only seeing the ship as only a grave when it could have been a temporary haven while she figured out how to change things.
