A delightful easy read with a deep message about developing an understanding of the need to reflect on the way we conceive ourselves in relation to this planet and the way we treat it. We as a race need to put our planet as our number one concern and I hope novels of this nature will be agents of change.

The story, set in various places around the world, focuses on an Australian family, predominately their two children Ambra and Jevon. The opening scene is set in Thailand on boxing day 2004, and had me hooked.
I loved how the author integrated the human world and world events with the fantasy part of the story. I’m someone that even with a fiction book I like to google words that spark my interest. At one point I donned my Google cardboard goggles and did a virtual tour of the seed Bank in Norway, I was blown away by this! I learnt about the Gaia Mission, the Clock of the Long Now and many other exciting things which added depth to the storyline.
The book aligns with my belief that we are causing our planet to become endangered, and at certain times in the book I wished certain elements of the story were true!
With what's happening around the world in 2020 it felt even more poignant!

3.5 stars. The reader is pulled in through its opening scene of the Boxing Day tsunami. The places and forms of transportation are vividly and intricately portrayed by the author giving one a real sense of both fantasy realms and real locations. The action continues apace through the multiple strands of this story that draw out our environmental dilemma and approaches to change.
