SUMMARY: Year 2066, city Shamed, Greenland.
The world is different from what it was 50 years ago. It is more polluted, more populated, much less green, more hot and more and more wet as the sea level rises. In all of this chaos, lives a young teenager named Johnie. She lives with her too big family in a small appartement. She is happy, but she thinks about how the world used to be once. But one day, she meets Red a street-man. Together they start building a garden… on top of the world.
COMMENT: An emotional story, that well describes the world in a few years if nothing is done.. Readers will love the young girl who is determined, intelligent and funny. The story is inspiring but not very engaging.
