Details

Edgar, an eleven-year-old orphan, lives on the planet Atherton, which is divided into three tiers: the mysterious Flatlands, the impoverished Tabletop, and the wealthy Highlands. Atherton has strict rules, but Edgar has already broken two of them: he has scaled the cliffs that separate Tabletop from the Highlands, and he has tried to decipher a forbidden book. Then Edgar discovers that the Highlands are descending into Tabletop, and soon none of the old rules will apply. Black-and-white diagrams.

Edgar has discovered the book of secrets that was foretold to him, but reading is not allowed in Tabletop, so Edgar makes the forbidden climb to the Highlands to find someone who can read. His trip of discovery alerts people on both inhabitable levels that Atherton is changing—the levels are coming together, and war is at hand. Topics Playing. Punishment. Water. Being followed.
