In this sequel to Memory Boy, sixteen-year-old Miles, thirteen-year-old Sarah, and their parents have finally found a place to live after volcanic eruptions decimated the climate, but the Minneapolis-bred family struggles to make it in the remote forest. Tensions are built and then disappointingly fall to the wayside, but fans of wilderness-set survivor stories will be entertained.
