A story of a father and his three children have been living on an island that is being overwhelmed by the rising waters of climate change. Their way of life, their mission to save the seeds, their relations with each other are all being affected. A woman washes ashore and she brings a mystery and a thriller aspect to the novel. The nature writing was specific and inclusive. This was a page turner for me. #camplitsy25

Climate change is wreaking havoc on Shearwater Island,near the coast of Antarctica.Only a family of 4 are left, living in the island‘s Light House.The island is another character in itself, along with its flora,fauna, & marine mammals. One of the family‘s jobs is to protect an underground seed bank from melting,surging waters.Orly,the 7 yr old son,keeps track of the seeds, giving voice to their purposes.Their lives are turned upside down side ⬇️

A dystopian novel about humanity reaching its cataclysmic end thanks to climate change, this is a touching, heartbreaking story. Rowan shipwrecks in Antarctica where a family is trying to stay afloat and save as many seeds from the forever (it‘s not)seed bank. They save her life, but the family needs saving, too, from the rising sea and from their own secrets. I read the book while also listening to the audiobook, which I highly recommend. The ⬇️

Fitting title. Ready for #CampLitsy25 discussion.

Well, I was not expecting that ending. This was a mixture of thriller/mystery story with a story about grief. The whole time I tried to guess what terrible thing happened in the island, and my guesses were incorrect. I felt for the family but I did not care for the affair that the 2 main adults got into. However, I was eager to find out how it was going to end.

True to form, the #camplitsy conversation has already started so I‘m just picking this one up. 😂 The gorgeous flowers are from the local farmer‘s market this morning.

OMG this book!!!! I love it so much #camplitsy

Whew, this one really packed a punch. It‘s a billion degrees here and sweaty, but I felt as if cold ocean water was creeping in all around me. The island and the whales were my favorite characters.
#CampLitsy @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @squirrelbrain how will I ever decide between this and Audition? How how will the rest of the summer live up to this great month of reading? Can‘t wait to discuss the rest on Saturday.
