Earth's atmosphere has been poisoned by pollution, so each year the government--Terra--holds a contest for all eligible, healthy 16-year-olds. The winners, 100 teens who possess skills that will contribute to Venus's floating biosphere, are sent to the Floating City. Though both Leah and Rachel are talented gardeners, Leah's pollution-induced asthma makes her ineligible. After Rachel is selected for the Floating City, she tricks Terra's medical staff and sends Leah in her place to save Leah's life. Once on Venus, Leah continues to hide her true identity. She is assigned to work in the city's greenhouse where she meets Rose, who awakens something inside her she never knew existed. But when Leah's asthma returns, she's forced to find out whether true love can survive deceit, and if her sister's sacrifice was ultimately worth the price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maija Barnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978597320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978597327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e West 44 Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2024 pg. 92","brand":"Maija Barnett","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":46431691047167,"sku":"9781978597327","price":25.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a22d2dd-c465-4b37-8738-60d5bb266897.jpg?v=1735142100","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reaching-for-venus-maija-barnett-9781978597327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
