Elemental by Antony John 326 pgs

This was a really interesting read. It follows a young man who has grown up completely isolated in a small, tight-knit community.  This is because he is the only one who does not have an "elemental".  Others can sense storms, work water to do their will, feel living things in the earth, but Thomas has none of that.  His little village is hit hard by a storm and they send Thomas and the other children to their island shelter.  When no word comes the next day, the kids go back to explore and find no one is left.  Pirates have been there and the children have no way of knowing if their parents are alive or dead.  This story was told really well and kept me reading and interested to the end.
