The world has been destroyed by flood. With everyone’s livelihood buried under the dark and fetid water, the world surrenders to death and decay. Those that do survive wrest a meager existence from the “mainland.” Parents have only one hope for their children- X-Isle. This island, controlled by Preacher John Eck and his sons, reportedly has food, fresh water, and an easier life. Sometimes when the Eck brothers come to trade their salvage goods, they take a child or two back with them. Baz’s father buys his passage to X-Isle with two boxes of shotgun shells. A boy named Ray is selected for a box of Cornflakes. When Baz and Ray arrive on the island, they join a group of boys whose existence is anything but idyllic. Subject to cruel overseers, they work all day for the reward of one can of food. When the boys learn of Preacher John’s insane plot to clear the flood waters, they devise a plan to secure their freedom. They all know that the plan could cost them their lives.

Have you ever read a book that you weren't sure you liked while reading, but then couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards? The Various, by Steve Augarde was one of those books for me. It took me a month to read it because I had several other books taking precedence, but once I gave it my undivided attention I did enjoy it.
The main character is a girl who's mother is a professional violinist. She goes to spend time with her uncle on his farm while her mother is on tour. She loves the farm and the woods and soon finds that there are ancient, mystical creatures inhabiting the old woods on the farm. She finds a magical tiny flying horse who's been injured and cares for him. It's not all fairy dust and laughter though, there are many of the Various (all the mystical creatures) who don't approve of her presence and some who even try to kill her. A tale of the strength of family, finding the beauty around us, the mystery of our earth, the frailty of parents, and the power of a little girl. I keep thinking about it now. It's the first in the Touchstone Trilogy, and I'll probably read the rest now.… (more)
