Planting Roots in the Ruins

About this book

In a post-apocalyptic world left barren by endless dust storms after the Great Collapse, thirteen-year-old Mila has only known the safety of her hidden, green valley. Sheltered and curious, she spends her days tending gardens and reading her favorite pre-collapse book of adventurous romances. But when a fierce storm cracks the valley walls and separates her from her family, Mila is cast into the harsh, gray wasteland. Alone and disoriented, she forms an alliance with Kai, a wiry fourteen-year-old scavenger searching for his missing sister. Together, they navigate ruined highways, trade for clean water, and learn to trust one another. When they discover that ruthless raiders plan to overrun Mila's fertile valley, they must combine her botanical knowledge with his survival skills to organize a defense and protect the world's last hope for renewal.
