Description
New York City has become almost uninhabitable when continuous sunlight causes unbearable heat, rationing of water and electricity, and swarms of people leaving, looking for cooler weather further north.
Quick Summary
Imagine NYC so hot that Central Park becomes a desert, subways melt, and the only way to survive is heading north into the unknown. Readers will race through pages as families battle the scorching sun, navigate shrinking resources, and discover that the real danger might not be the heat but the desperate people willing to do anything to escape. If your kid loves the survival thrills and world-building of "The Last Kids on Earth" or the environmental disaster stakes of "The Day the World Went Still," they'll devour this fast-paced tale. Perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-6 who want a quick but gripping read that feels like watching a disaster movie unfold.
