Prez moves from temporary accommodation to a summer with the Blythe family while coping with his grandparent’s removal.
Sputnik asks Prez to help find ten things that make Earth worth saving from Planetary Clearance.
The plot places comic mayhem—including destructive incidents, a high-speed digger ride and a failed jailbreak—alongside Prez’s unsettled circumstances.
The story includes foster care, a grandparent being taken away to be “sorted out”, trauma-related muteness, mind-reading, planetary danger and comic destruction. The balance between distress and reassurance may be worth noticing as you read.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
