Tildey Starling, fifteen, who had previously lived her entire life on the 77th floor of Chicago's Compton Tower, moves suddenly to Moab Utah, meets Carmella Blacksnake, a Navajo girl who grew up in a Hogan on the reservation near Navajo Mountain without electricity or running water. Both girls become raging climate change activist hell raisers, upending the world of the wrestling team, the school principal, a County Commissioner, and a team of academic henchmen from the Institute of Advanced Studies. A wise Navajo Elder and a magical stallion add to the drama of this rollicking, hell raising tale very much in the spirit of C. D. Payne's Youth in Revolt.
After terrifying her teachers at Compton Prodigy College, a school for the ultra-gifted in Chicago, Tildey Starling, fifteen, moves with her parents to Moab Utah- so she can try being a 'normal' girl. Shortly after starting school at Grand Valley High, she meets climate change activist, Carmella Blacksnake, a Navajo. Together the two become outrageous climate change activists set on upending the world of the wrestling team, the school principal, a County Commissioner, and a team of academic henchmen from the Institute of Advanced Studies.
