computer geek and eco-activist, Abi is holidaying with her
grandmother on an island off the Norwegian coast. Having developed

under threat, their numbers rapidly dwindling. Abi is determined to
help. Autumn, 30 years later The world's ecosystems are collapsing.

only silence. Winter, the Future Tonje's search was not in vain.

always hope for the future, as nature and technology combine in a
captivating, action-packed adventure with a powerful environmental
call to arms.
