Summary

Juniper Greene lives in a walled city from which nature has been banished, following the outbreak of a deadly man-made disease many years earlier. While most people seem content to live in such a cage, she and her little brother Bear have always known about their resistance to the disease, and dream of escaping into the wild. To the one place humans have survived outside of cities. To where their mother is.
When scientists discover that the siblings provide the key to fighting the disease, the pair must flee for their lives. As they cross the barren Buffer Zone and journey into the unknown, Juniper and Bear can only guess at the dangers that lie ahead. Nature can be cruel as well as kind... Will they ever find the home they've been searching for?
A thrilling and thought-provoking ecological adventure from a fresh new voice in children's fiction. Perfect for fans of THE EXPLORER, THE LAST WILD and THE ISLAND AT THE END OF EVERYTHING.

    Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity. While strides have been made in confronting this global scourge, the fight for equality and human dignity remains far from over. This enduring struggle is deeply rooted in historical injustices and perpetuated by contemporary systems of power and privilege.  
      
    Understanding racism requires a close examination of its origins, evolution, and the ways it impacts communities worldwide. Its foundations can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where societal hierarchies and prejudices began to form, later crystallizing during the eras of slavery and colonialism. These periods institutionalized racial inequality, embedding it into economic, social, and political structures. Even as humanity has progressed, racism has evolved, adapting to modern contexts while retaining its insidious influence.  
      
    The importance of addressing racism lies in the profound consequences it has on individuals and societies alike. At an individual level, it strips people of their dignity, identity, and opportunities, often leaving scars that last generations. On a societal level, racism undermines social cohesion, fosters economic inequality, and perpetuates cycles of marginalization and violence. In the face of these challenges, activists, leaders, and everyday citizens have worked tirelessly to dismantle racist systems, foster inclusion, and champion equality.
