Pattie and her family are among the last refuees to flee a dying Earth in an old spaceship. And when the group finally lands on the distant planet which is to be their new home, it seems that the four-year journey has been success. But as they begin to settle this shining world, they discover that the colony is in serious jeopardy. With supplies dwindling, Pattie and her sister decide to take the one chance that might make life possible on Shine.
“The Green Book is a clever and beautifully shaped little combination of future fiction and metafiction. . . . It is the record of the exodus of a group of Britons from a dying Earth to a new planet. . . . The naïve courage of the children . . . saves the colony.”—School Library Journal, Starred Review
“An enthralling story, flawlessly told.”—The New Yorker
