Thanks for coming to see me, Auntie; but by the time you read this, it will be too late. No one will have started to panic, yet; but in less than two months nothing will be the same. What came first, manufactured GMO printable Chicken or Egg Flu?
I wish it mattered. But let’s just say, maybe go back to wearing a mask, bathing in sanitizer, and avoid 3-D printed meat and eggs for a bit …I did not kill my brother. I did quite the opposite, really.
It’s the near future. Stevie Henry is a Cherokee girl working at a museum in Texas, trying to save up enough money to go to college. The world around her is in a cycle of drought and superstorms, ice and fire, but … people get by. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
When a mysterious boy shows up at Stevie’s museum, saying that he’s from the future—and telling her about the apocalypse that is to come—she refuses to believe him. But soon Stevie will have no choice.
From the author of the Walter Award–winning Man Made Monsters comes a stunning work of Cherokee Futurism—an Apocalyptic-Time Travel-Love Story—which conjures our futures in startling life: the ones that we are headed towards, and the ones we can still work towards.
