Horizon (Book)

Summary
Horizon, the first book of the series, released on the 28th of March 2017. It is written by Scott Westerfeld.

In Scott Westerfeld’s Horizon book, eight young survivors step from the wreckage of their plane and into an impossible jungle where the laws of nature have gone wrong. With no hope of rescue and strange and sinister beasts on the prowl, they’ll have to work together to survive.

On their plane, the Horizon, Molly, Javi, Anna are members of Team Killbot, a middle school team from the US. They are on their way to Japan for a robot fighting competition along with a younger classmate, Oliver. Yoshi, also on board, is the son of a Japanese father and American mother, returning to Japan after four years of living in New York. With them are Kira and Akiko. They are 11 year old twins, and were studying in a Swiss boarding school, learning French. Along with Caleb, another passenger on the plane, they are all apparently chosen by a mysterious supernatural being or organization, and find themselves the only survivors in a strange and dangerous forest.
