Fifteen-year-old Ash has never felt like they fit in, and the only person who ever really understood them was their Grandpa Edwin, but ever since his death, things have only gotten worse. Their parents haven't fully accepted their name change and newly shorn hair, and Ash is deeply concerned about the climate crisis that no one else seems to care about. So when Ash learns their family is planning on selling Grandpa Edwin's old ranch, they come up with a plan to find Grandpa's secret cabin in the woods and stay there forever. With their dog, Chase, Ash sets out into the California wilderness to find the cabin and learns to live off the land, but when a wildfire threatens their safety, Ash must make an impossible decision.

"Ash has always felt alone. Adults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ash's age are more interested in pop stars and popularity contests than in fighting for change. Even Ash's family seems to be sleepwalking through life. The only person who ever seemed to get Ash was their Grandpa Edwin. Before he died, he used to talk about building a secret cabin, deep in the California wilderness. Did he ever build it? What if it's still there, waiting for him to come back . . .or for Ash to find it? To Ash, that maybe-mythical cabin is starting to feel like the perfect place for a fresh start and an escape from the miserable feeling of alienation that haunts their daily life. But making the wilds your home isn't easy. And as much as Ash wants to be alone . . .can they really be happy alone? Can they survive alone?" --Provided by publisher.
