Krátky popis
A timely, contemporary novel challenging ideas around health - our
own and our planet's - and the stigma that persists around illness,
by Printz Medallist and internationally bestselling novelist,
Marcus Sedgwick. Ash has lived in eight states in as many years.
Mom has gone walkabout, but stepdad Jack is like a father, and
stepbrother Bly the best anyone could wish for.When Bly goes
missing too, Ash sets off to search for him - and finds something
much bigger: the sickness of the world. Arriving in Snowflake,
Arizona, Ash discovers Bly living with a community 6000 feet high
in the wide red desert. They call themselves the Canaries and all
suffer from some kind of environmental illness.They are ostracised
by modern society, as it continues to ignore climate change, global
warming and so much more of our self-inflicted poisoning of the
planet. When Ash takes ill, the doctor's response is, 'it's all in
your mind'. In a story spanning seven years with triumphs and
tragedies, Ash learns how to live as the world is pushed to a point
of no return.This humane and deeply thoughtful novel is about
resilience, trust, family and love.
