A SPECULATIVE LITERATURE FOUNDATION AWARD WINNERBeautifully written and exquisitely conceived . . . an adventure for the coming climate change apocalypse. Jack leads readers through a forbidding continent of ice and other environmental consequences with little more than a willing heart and a fierce intelligence. Jane Rosenberg LaForge, author of The HawkmanJack, a 200-year-old intersex street kid, knows the world didnt always look like it does now, with the Great Garbage Ocean spewing plastic and jellyfish along the shores and humanity on the brink of extinction.As he travels through the desert in search of answers, his love, Joon, by his side, he remembers things from his lives before this one. The massive tidal wave that separated him from everyone he knew. His encounter with a trickster god. A world blanketed in never-ending ice, and his desperate trek across frozen lakes, through still-standing monuments to the past, and over roaring waterfalls to reach the salt sea.In every life Jack has lived though, one thing has stayed the same: peoples will to survive.An inventive prequel to Jellyfish Dreaming . . . [with] post-apocalyptic settings that evoke more of Maurice Sendak than Mad Max, overcoming mounting cynicism about humanity to reactivate a sense of play. Michael J. Deluca, author of The Jaguar MaskIn this strangely comforting skid into the apocalypse, D. K. McCutchen spins ice into electricity. Kirsten Mosher, author ofPlea$e Steal Me for 100 Plus Dollar-zz
