Nautila Lilo Mason-Zollfrank

Nau, an eleven-year-old girl, lives in the rainforest with her tribe, the Nautila. Amongst her people, tradition demands that all children spend six days alone in the wilderness as a coming-of-age ceremony, to prove their worth and claim their place in the tribe. In the first part of Nau's story, she takes part in this tradition. Unfortunately, complications arise on the night of her expected return. With her eyesight missing, her tribe unaware of her existence, and her ex-friend intent on destroying her, the only thing to light up her path in the darkness is a searchlight. As if Nau's first harrowing journey didn't have enough excitement, in the second and third parts of her story she is forced to encounter a hurricane of new friendships and unexpected reunions - but they are accompanied by fresh danger. There is a new enemy, and a stronger one at that. It remains to be seen if her newfound allies possess the courage to face this challenge, let alone the strength necessary to triumph. Someone must fall.
