In "The Girl at the Center of the World" by Austin Aslan, we follow the journey of a teen girl named Hana who finds herself in a perilous situation on a remote island. Raised in a society deeply affected by politics and environmental collapse, Hana's knowledge of survival is put to the test when she's tasked with navigating personal dilemmas, friendship bonds, and a dangerous world around her. As tensions rise and secrets emerge, Hana must confront her own identity and make choices that will impact not only her future but also the fate of those she cares about.
