 Description

This entry contains the first part of the eBook "Čez naraslo morje" (Across the swollen sea) by author Bren MacDibble and translator Neža Božič (COBISS ID: 277848835, ISBN: 978-961-272-871-7). Neoma, Jag, and their small community live a “kind life” on an island surrounded by rising seas. When strangers from the Valley of the Sun unexpectedly arrive on their shores, the two friends find themselves caught in a web of secrets and lies that threatens the way of life of the entire village. Through an unfortunate chain of events, fearless Neoma must set out alone on a dangerous journey across the unpredictable sea, determined to save her best friend. The journey is fraught with dangers, including crocodiles, sharks, and a pirate, but Neo is determined to do whatever it takes for the people closest to her. The novel delves into the consequences of climate change and rising sea levels, one of the most pressing global issues of our time. It raises young readers’ awareness of environmental challenges and encourages them to think about the future of our planet. The protagonist, Neoma, is a brave and determined girl who faces danger and adversity. Her story of friendship, perseverance, and courage can inspire young readers and promote positive values. Although the story is set in a specific post-apocalyptic world, themes such as survival, community, and hope are universal and can resonate with readers regardless of their cultural background.
