About

In this dystopian middle grade novel Digger: Dig or Die!, a climate change disaster forces humanity to search for safety as Earth's atmosphere escapes into space. Narrated by siblings Nick and Lily, the story follows their resourcefulness in aiding neighbors. Nick's digging prowess and Lily's strategic planning become vital as oxygen diminishes. Nick unveils a hidden tunnel connecting houses, forming a lifesaving network as breathable air disappears. Lily crafts a communication system with walkie-talkies and baby monitors to share critical information. A frantic race ensues to complete tunnels before food and oxygen become scarce; it's a tense battle for survival in a world teetering on the edge of extinction.

Reviews

"Narrators Griffin Puatu and Shannon Scott convey a dystopian America after altered weather causes a climate disaster. Relatable, resourceful Nick and his younger sister, Lily, work to save themselves as Earth's atmosphere escapes into space, causing an oxygen shortage. Few people can go outside. It's captivating to hear Nick, Lily, and their friends use old-fashioned walkie-talkies and color-coded papers in their windows to indicate their often life-or-death needs for vital goods like food and medicine. Standout characters include 90-year-old Miss Jennifer, who must learn to deal with Crazy Hank, whose violent streak is palpable. Striking sound effects, including a quick-witted cat and a Coast Guard foghorn, add atmosphere. Audio highlights the many ominous situations in this timely story.
