Rab Ferguson’s Landfill Mountain is a young adult environmental thriller steeped with folklore and community! Releasing on September 14th 2021, read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Landfill Mountains. Be sure to pre-order it from Onwe Press!
In a world ravaged by the effects of climate change, sixteen-year old Joe has been left with nothing but mountains full of junk. Conditions are so harsh that he must travel to the city to seek out a cure for Lily, a six-year old left deathly ill from an avalanche of waste. On his way to the city, he is blown away by a hidden world brimming with storytelling magic.
In the author’s words: “It is amazing to be working with the team at Onwe Press. I can think of no-one better to help me share this story about the devastating impact of climate change. I’m so excited for readers to have the chance to climb the landfill mountains, which for so many years existed only in my own head. Perhaps while they are there, they will find folktale characters living in the real world, and realise—like I did—that storytelling is magic!”
