Climate fiction could be called Earth fiction. It’s a good way to engage young people in conversations about our custodianship of our precious home, and I have been fortunate to be part of these conversations over the last year. #earthday #terraelectrica #clifi @neemtreepress.bsky.social

Day 2, 9+ Category: 'Terra Electrica' by @antoniamaxwell.bsky.social @neemtreepress.bsky.social A gripping story of courage & survival set in a dystopian future. We loved Mani’s quiet strength & the combination of edge-of-your-seat adventure with her journey into the spirit world. #SparkLonglist
