SIBERT HONOR BOOK A YALSA EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION FINALIST A SCBWI GOLDEN KITE AWARD FINALIST ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, Horn Book, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, The Boston Globe The world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock.A couple of hundred years ago, on a quiet Indonesian island, a volcano called Tambora erupted with a force and violence that changed history.It tore apart the island, and in the months and years that followed, its fallout tore apart the world. The sun refused to shine; the rain refused to stop. Everything that everyone assumed would always be therea world that made sense, a climate that made sensewas suddenly gone.From this riot of thunder and lightning, a young woman named Mary Shelley conceived of a scientist and his cursed creature. From the nightmare of Tambora, she wrote a nightmare of a book: Frankensteina terrifying reminder of how much damage we humans might do, without even realizing it.This is the story of a volcano that changed the world and a creature that changed us.Once upon a time, everything was different. And no one knew if it would ever be the same.In this masterful work, Nicholas Day, author of the Sibert Awardwinning The Mona Lisa Vanishes, brings us a story taken from the archives but seemingly scripted for us today: a tale of climate change and human folly and hopeand what happens when the world suddenly goes wrong. "A narrative nonfiction account that explores how Mount Tambora's eruption in 1815 affected the global climate and inspired Mary Shelley's work"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
