Elemental by Antony John - 326 pages
Thom has been ostracized his entire life as the only person in the colony that does not have an element (a gift controlling a type of element - water, wind, etc). Now he has been sent off to the hurricane shelter in the face of a terrible storm with the other children of the colony. When they emerge they find all the adults taken by pirates. Now the children must figure out how to survive and rescue their families.
I picked up this book as I've heard the author Antony John speak twice in the past month. He made his books sound absolutely fascinating. I'm glad I chose to read it. This book is a strange mix of dystopian, fantasy, romance and adventure all mixed up with the mystery of Roanoke colony. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next two books in the series.
