From the author of the Walter Award-winning ‘Man Made Monsters’ comes a YA novel that conjures our futures in startling life—the ones that we are headed towards, and the ones we can still work towards. It’s the year 2052. Stevie Henry is a Cherokee girl working at a museum in Texas, trying to save up enough money to go to college. The world around her is in a cycle of drought and superstorms, ice and fire … but people get by. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse. When a mysterious boy shows up at Stevie’s museum saying that he’s from the future—and telling her what is to come—she refuses to believe him. But soon she will have no choice.
