1 post | 1 read
Following their mother's death in the Covid-19 pandemic, twelve-year-old twins Nicky and Josie move with their father to an isolated island in Alaska, where Nicky embraces her new life, learning about the forests from her cousin, but Josie seems determined to turn herself into a radical environmentalist, with little consideration for the people on the island and the economic woes the pandemic has caused.

This middle-grade novel opens as twins move with their dad to live with family on a small Alaskan island after their mom passes away from COVID. Themes include environmentalism, grief, family dynamics & finding a voice. The first part of the book is pastoral, but builds to a grand end. If humankind stopped to listen, what would the living things on the planet tell us?
