A century from now, the worst has happened. After decades of deforestation, wildfires are out of control and death is a part of everyday life. Sixteen year old Finn has been forced to grow up quickly after being left to care for his elderly grandfather. His parents are away, working with a team of government scientists, trying to salvage what is left of the planet. The Lost Winter is a tale of a world ravaged by the inaction of a previous generation.
The Lost Winter has been developed as part of Write What's Next with Yvonne Battle-Felton, author of Remembered and course mentor, written by Elizabeth Ryan and illustrated by Rachel May.
