Children's book, isolated world that exists on a 3 tiered mountain and is totally self sufficient and the fig somehow is the staple crop. Young adult gets curious and explores and finds the dystopian truth. The unique bit was the architect of the mountain paradise thing had such a large intellect he used strings of 6 numbers to recall memories like a biological card catalog. There was also a website where you could plug in the numbers from the book to pull up like blueprints and pictures. I wanna say it starts with "Ae-" but I havent been able to find it since I read it in '08
The House of Power?
From the creator of the Land of Elyon comes a riveting adventure set in an extraordinary satellite world created as a refuge from a dying Earth that begins to collapse and forever change the lives of its inhabitants. Edgar, a gifted climber, is a lonely boy scaling the perilous cliffs that separate the three realms of Atherton: a humble fig grove; a mysterious highland world of untold beauty and sinister secrets; and a vast wasteland where he must confront an unspeakable danger that could destroy the people of Atherton. When Edgar discovers a book which contains the history of Atherton's origins and ultimate apocalypse, his world quite literally begins to turn inside out.
Thats exactly it, thank you so much!
Awesome! I tagged your username for "cool art" for your owl painting a while back, so I was hoping I could hook you up with the title.
Your tribute to the owl spirit has now been repaid! ๐ฆ
