SIBERIA is a state of mind. When Sloe was tiny, her Papa disappeared and she and her mama went to live in a prison camp in the snowy North, in a time and place when there are no more wild animals. Mama's crime; teaching science, and her dedication to the hope that the lost animal species can be reborn.

In a futuristic frozen world where humans live in domed-in cities, three rogue scientists work in an animal DNA lab to preserve extinct animal species by creating 'kits' that will grow almost any animals. When Rosita and her mother are sent to prison camp outside the city as punishment for her scientist father's DNA work, she changes her name to Sloe and learns to steal to survive. In a nutshell, in order to survive after her mother is removed from the camp, Sloe uses the 'kits' to create animals that help her escape from the camp, leading to a harrowing race to freedom. Halam's description of the frozen world is both well-wrought and realistic, considering the environmental issues of today. The main character, Sloe, is a powerful heroine who both comes of age and literally helps save the world. (H) A fast-paced, intriguing, and suspenseful tale of the near future.
