Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
17-year-old Banyan is a tree builder. Using salvaged scrap metal, he creates forests for rich patrons who seek a
reprieve from the desolate landscape. Although Banyan's never seen a real tree--they were destroyed more than
a century ago-his missing father used to tell him stories about the Old World. Everything changes when Banyan
meets a mysterious woman with a strange tattoo-a map to the last living trees on earth, and he sets off across a
wasteland from which few return. Those who make it past the pirates and poachers can't escape the locusts . . .
the locusts that now feed on human flesh. But Banyan isn't the only one looking for the trees, and he's running
out of time. Unsure of whom to trust, he's forced to make an alliance with Alpha, a beautiful, dangerous pirate
with an agenda of her own. As they race towards a promised land that might be a myth, Banyan makes shocking
discoveries about his family, his past, and how far people will go to bring back the trees.

RUINS
CARD, ORSON SCOTT
When Rigg and his friends crossed the Wall between the only world they knew and a world they could not
imagine, he hoped he was leading them to safety. But the dangers in this new wallfold are more difficult to see.
Rigg, Umbo, and Param know that they cannot trust the expendable, Vadesh—a machine shaped like a human,
created to deceive—but they are no longer certain that they can even trust one another. But they will have little
choice. Because although Rigg can decipher the paths of the past, he can’t yet see the horror that lies ahead: A
destructive force with deadly intentions is hurtling toward Garden. If Rigg, Umbo, and Param can’t work together
to alter the past, there will be no future.
