About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition or feels overwhelmed by a world that seems to be changing too fast. It is a perfect choice for the young reader who feels like an outsider and needs to see how curiosity and bravery can turn a scary situation into an opportunity for growth. This high-stakes science fiction adventure follows Edgar, a young boy whose entire world is literally collapsing as three separate societal layers crash into one another. As Edgar navigates the ruins of his home to find the world's creator, children will explore deep themes of environmental responsibility, the consequences of social hierarchy, and the resilience needed to survive when the 'ground' beneath them shifts. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core is about finding your footing when the rules have changed. It is best suited for children aged 9 to 12 who enjoy complex world-building and are ready for more mature themes of survival and justice.
