Seventeen-year-old Penelope (Pen) has lost everything—her home, her parents, and her ten-year-old brother. Like a female Odysseus in search of home, she navigates a dark world full of strange creatures, gathers companions and loses them, finds love and loses it, and faces her mortal enemy.

In her signature style, Francesca Lia Block has created a world that is beautiful in its destruction and as frightening as it is lovely. At the helm of LOVE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING is Pen, a strong heroine who holds hope and love in her hands and refuses to be defeated.

Leo becomes the big brother she's always wished for, slowly helping her heal from the wounds of her past and rediscover her worth.
