- Summary:
- The year is 2315. Poppy, a young boy who speaks the language of wild things, travels east to the Sierra Nevada with the wheeled and elephantine beast Lyoobov. He's seeking answers to the mysteries of his birth, and the origins of the fallen world in which he lives. Up in the glacial peaks, among a strange, mountainous people, a juniper tree takes Poppy deep into her roots and shows him the true stories of the people who made his world, people he thought were only myths. It is through this feral but redemptive folklore that Poppy begins to understand his own past and his place in the present.
