Description

In this dystopian middle-grade novel, a climate change disaster forces humanity to flee as Earth's atmosphere escapes into space.Narrated by siblings Nick and Lily, the story follows their resourcefulness in aiding neighbors. Nick's digging prowess and Lily's strategic planning become vital as oxygen diminishes. Nick unveils a hidden tunnel connecting houses, forming a lifesaving network as breathable air dwindles. Lily crafts a communication system with walkie-talkies and baby monitors to share critical information. A frantic race ensues to complete the tunnels before food and oxygen become scarce, a tense battle for survival in a world teetering on the brink.
