"The future flew path in a flash of grim. The clock was ticking, and I didn't like that clock. Yes, it was known that we couldn't stay young, but it was hard to believe somehow."

"There's lots the same with Jesus and Science. ... Like, for science to save us, we have to believe in it? And same with Jesus. If you believe in Jesus, he can save you.
...
Science comes from nature. It's kind of a branch of it, like Jesus is a branch of God. And if we believe that science is true, then we can act. And we'll be saved."

A creative and unbelievable story in all the best ways. Climate change/End of the world/Biblical themes... I really did enjoy this one.

An unflinching story that takes on the existential threat of climate change and the growing generational divide through the clear and resilient eyes of the youth most affected.

If you care to look, there are tons of reviews and discussions about this National Book Award finalist. I found it impossible to put down, the feelings it invokes both precise and nebulous, mirroring and reflecting back the inevitable change on our horizon.

4.5 - We've abused the planet and are on the precipice of no return. This apocalyptic story - like another recent favorite "Leave the World Behind" - has the children in charge as an epic storm rages and floods ensue. I'm sure some of the biblical imagery was lost on this atheist but saving animals during a flood and a woman giving birth on a hay stack when three "angels" arrive were obvious symbols in Millet's brilliant cautionary tale. The ending was so good that I read it a second time the next day.
