Beautiful Blue World
Suzanne LaFleur
Twelve-year-old Mathilde lives in Sofarende during an ongoing war with invading Tyssia. She expects her high-achieving friend Meg to be selected by the government, but Mathilde is chosen instead and joins gifted children at an estate presented as a private school. Their work is to use creative and analytical thinking on wartime problems, including defenses against raids. Mathilde feels out of place until her compassion becomes important in her connection with Rainer, a young Tyssian prisoner whose experience complicates her view of the enemy.
