'In Black Sun/Blood Moon we follow Maddy a ten-year-old climate champion, and Katie, the underachieving assistant of a climate-denying politician. When Maddy’s Dad, Paul, unwittingly inspires Maddy to take part in a school climate strike, their lives are turned upside down irrevocably. Maddy’s journey will put her at increasing risk as she takes her message to the powers that be, while Katie will find herself on the back of eagles, dolphins, and polar bears, as she attempts to fulfill a fantastical quest from the future.'
