Description
Ash has always felt alone.
Adults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ashs age are more interested in pop stars and popularity contests than in fighting for change. Even Ashs family seems to be sleepwalking through life.
The only person who ever seemed to get Ash was their Grandpa Edwin. Before he died, he used to talk about building a secret cabin, deep in the California wilderness. Did he ever build it? What if its still there, waiting for him to come backor for Ash to find it? To Ash, that maybe-mythical cabin is starting to feel like the perfect place for a fresh start and an escape from the miserable feeling of alienation that haunts their daily life.
But making the wilds your home isnt easy. And as much as Ash wants to be alonecan they really be happy alone? Can they survive alone?
From New York Timesbestselling author and illustrator Jen Wang comes a singularly affecting story about self-discovery, self-reliance, and the choice to live when it feels like you have no place in the world.
