At once a heart-stopping tale of climate change and a profoundly hopeful call to action.”—Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal winner for The One and Only Ivan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA couple of hundred years ago, on a quiet Indonesian island, a volcano called Tambora erupted with a force and violence that changed history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt tore apart the island, and in the months and years that followed, its fallout tore apart the world.

Everything that everyone assumed would always be there—a world that made sense, a climate that made sense—was suddenly gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom this riot of thunder and lightning, a young woman named Mary Shelley conceived of a scientist and his cursed creature.
