Ever since climate change has begun to disrupt everyday life for more and more people, climate disasters have made kids disappear.

Where are all of the children displaced by Hurricane Katrina? Have we fully accounted for the families leaving the American Midwest due to prolonged droughts? How do you keep track of climate refugees if they are not old enough to vote?

This novel tells the story of two perspectives on this issue: a teacher and a teenager. K is living in the burnout lane of working as a teacher in the 2050s. Artificial intelligence has changed the field of teaching so much that K barely recognizes his role as an educator anymore. V is a teenager who fell through the gaps after climate disasters. Access to technology in a changing world of values and norms makes her grow up fast, hopefully before it's too late.

Like falling in love when you least expect it. *~*~*~*` If anyone was to look at Emmery Willow, they'd think that she's just an average hard working teenager. But you know what they say, 'Dont judge a book by its cover.' Emmery had kept her secret of future sightings to herself. That is until she moved next door to a (good-looking) young man known as Hudson Matthews. He'd saved her life once, but that wasn't where the story ended; infact It all began from there. Hudson had a bad reputation at school, but Emmery thinks otherwise. Soon, Emmery finds out that her chances of getting killed increases everytime she gets closer to Hudson. Now that she knows that there is another person who understands her secret better than anyone else, would she have the ability to stay away from him? Would he stay away her to keep her safe?
