Description: "Hutchins draws on ancient lore about a cosmic turtle and creates a world in which people live on the backs of the large creatures... A magical fantasy with legs (and flippers)." -- Booklist "Original worldbuilding and cosmology spice up a save-the-world romantic adventure... Readers will find watching Hutchins' unusual magical rules bring about startling consequences for family and political structure utterly fascinating. Totally fresh." -- Kirkus Reviews "The world-building is clear and well-developed; details about the setting's mythology are deftly integrated into Tenjat's story and will engage high fantasy fans. Themes of marriage, family, friendship, and loyalty are evident throughout." -- School Library Journal A fantastic adventure set in a stunning, original world, Drift is the kind of book that draws you in so completely that you'll believe you are living on an island on the back of a turtle, fighting off water spirits, and claiming your own magical treasures. Some of the best worldbuilding I've ever read. " -- Sarah Beth Durst, author of Vessel and Conjured Junior Library Guild Selection
