An astounding tale of a dangerous quest, a talking dog, and
fragmented fairy tales in an eerie post-climate collapse future. A
long time ago, the Vanderchucks fled the growing climate disaster
and followed their neighbours into the Underground. Jesse
Vanderchuck thought it was the end. Of the world. Of life.
Eventually, Jesse's little sister, Olivia, ran away and Jesse
started picking through trash heaps in Toronto's abandoned subway
tunnels. Day in, day out. Now, years later, Jesse meets a talking
dog. Fighting illness and the hostile world aboveground, Jesse and
Doggo embark on a fool's errand to find Olivia - or die trying.
Along the way, Jesse spins a series of fairy tales from threads of
memories, weaving together the past, present, and future into
stories of brave girls, of cunning lads, of love in the face of
wickedness, and of hope in the midst of despair.
