Marlo has been raised in a ranch commune, sheltered from the outside world, what they call the Disaster. This group, predicting how climate change would destroy the world, have created their own utopia, where only wealthy families are allowed in. Marlo's friends have left the commune to help avert disaster however they can and are urging Marlo to join them. She must decide between staying in the only life she's ever known or risking her own survival to help others.
This was a good book warning of the dangers of climate change. I like the description of the ranch, all these people working together to create a beautiful utopia. I can't blame Marlo's parents for doing everything they could to keep their only child safe and sheltered, but Wolf's reasons for staying seemed vague and a little creepy. My only complaint is that I wish the story had continued a little longer after they left the ranch.
