“Will leave fans breathless for the next one.” -ALA Booklist

Description: All of the trees in the world have been cut down and the population of remaining humans reside within a dome. Breathe, an air manufacturing company protects them as they all pay their oxygen tax. However, this government is hiding knowledge. 3 friends venture out into the Outlands with only 2 days of oxygen and what they find is not what you would expect.

“I know why they cut the trees down. I know the problem: the world’s population was soaring and people needed to eat. And the solution was to log all the remaining forests and use the land for farming.” (92)
