Ash's Cabin - Jen Wang

\nAsh has always felt alone. \n \nAdults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ash's age are more interested in pop stars and popularity contests than in fighting for change. Even Ash's family seems to be sleepwalking through life. \n \nThe only person who ever seemed to get Ash was their Grandpa Edwin. Before he died, he used to talk about building a secret cabin, deep in the California wilderness. Did he ever build it? What if it's still there, waiting for him to come back...or for Ash to find it? To Ash, that maybe-mythical cabin is starting to feel like the perfect place for a fresh start and an escape from the miserable feeling of alienation that haunts their daily life. \n \nBut making the wilds your home isn't easy. And as much as Ash wants to be alone...can they really be happy alone? Can they survive alone? \n \nFrom New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator Jen Wang comes a singularly affecting story about self-discovery, self-reliance, and the choice to live when it feels like you have no place in the world.\n \n \nA Kirkus Best Book of the Year \nA Booklist Best Book of the Year \nAn Amazon Best Book of the Year \nA Shelf-Awareness Best Book of the Year \nA Common Sense Media Best Book of the Year \n \nAsh has always felt alone. \n \nAdults ignore the climate crisis.
