Atherton: The House of Power
By: Patrick Carmen
A Review By: Christie S.
Welcome
to the world of Atherton where the orphan Edgar lives in a fig grove on
Tabletop. Atherton is a made world created by the mad scientist Maximus
Harding. He created Atherton with three circular levels, each one
smaller than the level below it. The Highlands, the lowest level, is
expansive, bare, and vastly unknown. Tabletop, the middle level,
contains most of the population of Atherton. It is here that all of the
food is grown. The Highlands, the top level, is a beautiful place where
the noblemen and people of privilege live. The House of Power is the
center of the Highlands and that is where the only source of water for
Atherton is held. All three of these levels are separated by treacherous
cliffs.
Edgar is our main character. He loves to climb these
dangerous cliffs, which I might add, is completely against the rules of
Atherton.
But Atherton is changing and soon nothing will ever be
the same again. People will be forced to choose sides and the world of
Atherton will be forever changed...
