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.
