"Peter is thrilled to leave New York City to accompany his parents on an expedition to Greenland to study global warming. There he has visions of things that should be too far away for him to see. Generations ago, the people of Thea's community were hunted for possessing unusual abilities, so they fled beneath the ice. Thea needs help that only Peter can give. Their meeting reveals secrets of both their pasts, and changes the future for them both forever."~ Rebecca Caudill website summary

When I think of Science Fiction, I typically think of Outer Space and expensive computer technology. "First Light" is a perfect example of a Science Fiction book that does NOT fit my typical criteria. "First Light" could easily be Realistic Fiction, but it deals with a colony of people, with unique abilities, who have hidden away in a glacier in Iceland. They are somehow connected to the protagonist, Peter, who lives in New York. The story is full of suspense as you try to figure out Peter's and Thea's connection. If you like suspense and interesting settings, give "First Light" a try!
i thought it was a very good book. I want to know if there was and more things like super speedy people or super smart guys. I wonder how they dug all of that ice out so fast the hunters might have gotten there about a day afterwards. If you like dogs or family drama you should read it. -Christian Larkin
