First Light is the story of two young adults: twelve-year-old Peter and fourteen-year-old Thea. Peter's father is a scientist who studies glaciers, and he brings Peter and his mother on an expedition to study global warming in Greenland. While he is in Greenland, Peter encounters various mysteries. What is the red ring he finds in the ice wall? What causes the fluttering in his vision? What is his mother writing in her red notebook and why does she have days when she withdraws from the world?
Thea lives in a world under the ice and longs to see the sun and stars. She tries to convince the community of Gracehope to find the tunnel that can lead them to the wider world, but she encounters resistance, especially from her grandmother. Thea's job in Gracehope is to work with their companion dogs, the Chikchu, and my favorite part of the book is the relationship these dogs have with their humans.
If you like fantasy and books about other worlds, I believe you will like
First Light.
