When the war makes its way into the empty Worselands, she and D-39 find themselves thrown into an epic journey for survival and hope. But one day an incredible antique shows up at the farm: a D-39 robodog, "Real as a dog can be!" Klynt is overjoyed, but the good luck doesn't last. Real pet dogs are a thing of the past: after they were found to be carriers of a sickness the government ordered them all killed. Instead, Klynt spends most of her long summer days bored, or restoring artifacts in her Museum of Fond Memories. The war is going from bad to worse, but out in the sparsely populated Worselands, twelve-year-old Klynt Tovis doesn't see much of it. In the middle: everybody else, just trying to survive. On the other: President Vex's corrupt government. In a future United States, civil war is devastating a country on its last legs. A dystopic but heartwarming novel-in-verse perfect for fans of Pax by Sara Pennypacker. ![]() Klynt's days on her Papa's farm are the all the same, even during wartime. ![]()
