Fin island by Maya C. Klinger

Project Fin Island

After he discovers a dark secret lurking beneath the surface of Fin-Island, a fourteen-year-old boy must confront tyranny and indifference to save his loved ones.

  1. 2175. The world is governed by the cold and alienated Head Office. Input slots are installed in the brains of six-year-olds, and all kids are forbidden to form relationships until the age of fourteen. On top of that, every adult who reaches the age of sixty is forced to move to an isolated and remote region: Fin-Island.

Like most teenagers, Ruby-G leads a lonely, boring life. His only entertainment is escaping to the virtual world of the Mind Cloud until, on his fourteenth birthday, Ruby-G is assigned a role as a guide for new students at his study center. There, he meets Daria – a fiercely independent girl without an input slot but with a fresh take on the world.

But his life truly takes a turn when, a day after, he receives a dire warning from his mother’s distressed assistant. She warns him about a vicious plan that his mother, who oversees Fin-Island at the Head Office, is about to execute.

With Daria’s help, Ruby-G races against time to save the island’s residents, including his own grandfather, from a terrible fate. The deeper Ruby-G dives into his journey, the harder it is to accept the truth that shatters everything he’s ever believed.

Can one teenage boy go against the all-powerful Head Office – and even worse, his own mother?

Project Fin-Island is a thrilling coming-of-age story of adventure, friendship, betrayal, and fighting for what’s right, even if it means risking it all in the process.
