A New Zealand Novel for YA/ Teens- Contemporary Novel #3



Do you love novels that have a hint of dystopia , that are set in totalitarian societies ? Have you read the award-winning novel by Fleur Beale "Juno of Taris".
Today's review is Book #2 in the Juno Series.

Review - Fierce September - Fleur Beale - 2010


Taking off several months later where award-winning book Juno of Taris ended, the colony of Taris is under attack and their once protective dome is cracking and exposing the outer world and its diseases. Now the residents of Taris must flee to a safe place in order to survive, arriving in the form of a ship -their survival has began, upon the ship they discover illnesses such as sea-sickness and knowledge of what the outside world is really like and how all those pretty pictures of the countries they have seen were fake and many countries are in a state of chaos and havoc. When the Taris people arrive to Wellington, New Zealand they are immediately bombarded with a series of hate attacks, protestors and bombs.

Is New Zealand safe for them? at first it seems like it as the youngsters are mesmerised by the fashion, technology, food and best of all the freedom from a totalitarian society.

However when a pandemic hits the shores of New Zealand, it is the people from Taris that are being blamed. As Juno starts to uncover secrets and finds herself in front of a judge and jury , has she reached her limit of being able to help or will Juno arise once more as a next generation hero and save the people of Taris when dangers start surrounding them.

For all those teens who have blogs, Fierce September includes a new cross-media technique where at the end of each chapter is a blog address where you can search up and find interactive information on characters , conversations and comments from readers.
