When the climate goes feral: Coming of age in a tipping world

When droughts and floods tear apart the fabric of society, it is only family and love that can offer cohesion to survive All the sawmill’s forest is lost in devastating fires. After years of drought, a period of torrential rain breaks out. The barren slopes no longer hold water, and a black tidal wave rages through the river valley. Eleven-year-old Mindra and her invalid grandmother are the last inhabitants of a village near the abandoned sawmill, high on the mountainside. She rescues some survivors, who become her new family. The world is tipping and they must make it on their own.
