Sommaire:
Rootbound is a gripping young adult climate fantasy novel bursting with hope, heart, adventure, and mystery (think Greta Thunberg meets Percy Jackson with heaps of swoony, slow burn romance). After her beloved sister Aspen disappears during a climate protest, seventeen-year-old Mira Bracken refuses to accept that she's gone. Mira spends her days combing an uncaring world for any trace of Aspen, driven forward by a blistering pain in her limbs and the voice of her missing-probably-dead sister in her mind. When a shocking act lands Mira in the hospital, a mysterious stranger insists that she's a treetalker, a powerful one, and that an ancient evil is hunting her. She laughs it off, until the stranger adds one last thing-this underworld group has been kidnapping youth climate strikers. Desperate to learn more, Mira throws her lot in with the mysterious stranger and the other treetalkers, who call themselves rootbound. Soon she's swept into a secret magical war that spans centuries, inching closer to discovering the fate of her sister. Rootbound: Join the magic. Join the movement.
