This is a powerful, hopeful, and timely story about the real effects of climate change, focusing on two young people whose lives are catastrophically changed by global warming. Yuki lives in an increasingly deserted Inuit township in Nova Scotia. One day, she sets out into the Arctic tundra to photograph a rare grolar bear, a terrifying grizzly-polar crossbreed created by climate change. If she can prove its existence, she hopes to protect it from being shot. Accompanied only by her faithful dog and adrift on a fragment of melting glacier, she finds herself being stalked by a starving grolar bear, relying on her wits and harpoon to survive. Meanwhile, Sami lives in a fishing village on the Bay of Bengal, where rising ocean levels make survival a daily struggle. One night, he dives beneath the moonlit waters to return to his submerged family home, hoping to find his past, unaware that a cyclone is approaching. This moving graphic novel features breathtaking full-color illustrations throughout.
