Surviving school as a fat kid is tough enough. When your mum’s a teacher, it’s hell. What's more, Anna’s dad is obsessed with saving the world and her maverick uncle Terry is dossing on the couch. When Anna hits back at the bullies, she suspended from school and stuck at home with hapless Terry trying to save her. But Terry needs saving himself and, as the bond between the two deepens, Anna is swept up in a friendship she can’t live without.
This story of a family trying to save everyone but themselves is a sharp and hilarious consideration about whether it’s best to act on a macro-level or micro-level toward climate issues.
