At once a heart-stopping tale of climate change and a profoundly hopeful call to action.”—Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal winner for The One and Only Ivan\n\nA ROBERT F. 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\n\nThe world was upside-down. The wind was fire. The sky was ash. The rain was rock.\n\nA couple of hundred years ago, on a quiet Indonesian island, a volcano called Tambora erupted with a force and violence that changed history.\n\nIt 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 there—a world that made sense, a climate that made sense—was suddenly gone.\n\nFrom 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: Frankenstein—a terrifying reminder of how much damage we humans might do, without even realizing it.\n\nThis is the story of a volcano that changed the world and a creature that changed us.\n\nOnce upon a time, everything was different. And no one knew if it would ever be the same.\n\nIn this masterful work, Nicholas Day, author of the Sibert Award–winning 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 hope—and what happens when the world suddenly goes wrong.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593643879\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0593643879.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Day, Nicholas|Imamura, Yas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43627211456573,"sku":"BVV.0593643879.VG","price":14.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0593643879-0.jpg?v=1789508324","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/a-world-without-summer-a-volcano-erupts-a-creature-awakens-and-the-sun-goes-out","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
