About This Book

In a pre-apocalyptic world, 17-year-old Calgary teen Julia Klassen is going nowhere … fast. Suspended from high school for fighting, Julia is attending summer school to graduate, in addition to anger-management sessions and staying under the radar of Alberta’s governing right-wing party’s Gender Appropriation Division. You would think that would be enough chaos in the teen’s life. However, a global terrorism attack on small-modular reactors by environmental group, Terra Nova, says otherwise. As

Our Review

In a pre-apocalyptic Alberta where the Gender Appropriation Division monitors citizens and environmental terrorism threatens global stability, 17-year-old Julia Klassen navigates suspension, summer school, and court-mandated anger management. This near-future thriller drops readers directly into Julia's chaotic world where personal survival and political turmoil collide after Terra Nova's attack on small-modular reactors sends society toward collapse.

What sets this narrative apart is its raw portrayal of a teenager already fighting systemic oppression when global catastrophe strikes, forcing her to channel her anger into something more than rebellion. Readers who connect with dystopian fiction that mirrors contemporary political anxieties will find Julia's journey through government surveillance and environmental extremism both timely and unsettling, leaving them questioning how close we might be to our own tipping point.
