In a world ravaged by the effects of climate change, sixteen-year-old Joe has been left with nothing but mountains full of junk.

When Joe and his friends are caught in an avalanche of waste, six-year-old Lily is left deathly ill, and Joe sets out towards a mysterious city to seek out help.

Nothing could prepare him for what he finds on the way: a dangerous prince wearing a suit made of stars, the wolf from Red Riding Hood bearing its teeth, and the reality-changing power of storytelling aloud.

´Landfill Mountains´ is perfect for fans of Lauren James' 'Green Rising' and 'Ship Breaker' by Paolo Bacigalupi.
