Description
Pearl lives on a floating oyster farm with her father and younger sister, Clover, in a near future where environmental disasters have left much of the country underwater. Following her mum's death, Pearl refuses to set foot on land, fearing the poisons in the ground may have caused her illness. Clover, on the other hand, dreams of school, friends, and a normal life. When Nat arrives at the sea farm for the summer, he brings with him a secret and a scientist mum who's conducting experiments. The sisters promise to keep his secret safe, but they soon realize that keeping it may put everything at risk. This thrilling ecological adventure explores the consequences of environmental disasters and the importance of preserving the natural world. A thought-provoking story that raises important questions about the impact of human actions on the environment, this book is a compelling read for anyone interested in science, nature, and the human condition.
