What is this book about?

In a near-future London where extreme weather has depleted plant life, sixteen-year-olds must have an ability surgically augmented so that they can contribute to a new utopian society. Akaego moves to a prestigious academy after the late discovery of her rare gift: she can project a vocal frequency that makes plants grow faster. The novel is aimed at readers of twelve and over.
