The Nameless City meets Princess Mononoke in this eco-adventure about a young messenger who taps into an ancient magic to defend her islandâs animal inhabitants.
Sable has spent her whole life in a tight-knit community on a remote island. With support from her parents, sheâs trained for years to take up her position as the next Kerpathic, a messenger who travels through the dangerous forest to share news, medicine, and culture.Â
When her father, the current Kerpathic, has an accident, Sable must step into her pre-destined role. As her first mission goes awry, she wonders if sheâs ready for this important but dangerous work. Until a young naturalist arrives on the island and sets off to capture a mysterious animal thatâs never been seen on the mainland. Sable realizes that she can use her skills as a Kerpathic to defend the islandâs animals and their way of life. But she quickly learns that she canât do it alone.
In Survival of the Goodest, Marianne Boucher (Talking to Strangers) explores ideas of animal sentience, interspecies communication, and environmental preservation.
