The Challenge: Find a Way to Save the Earth Hannah Larsen, a middle school teacher in Columbus, Ohio, receives a gift of $60 billion to turn the world back from its imminent destruction. Hannah decides that what is needed to build a better world is better humans. She looks for children and young adults with special skills; strong connections to the earth, its animals, and plants; and unique traits that might be genetically transmissible to their children. Hannah finds a site in New Zealand that has all the basics she needs to bring these special people together. The money represents vast resources, power, and influence. Hannah and her team of advisors must use the money to build something new, a place where problems can be solved by working together. But that much money can also bring trouble to her door. One of the children senses danger in their midst. As they race to find it, Hannah feels the project spiraling out of her control. The team's ability to bravely face the danger could be the only way to save the project-and maybe the world.

Autorenporträt
Patti Mobile grew up with stories--bedtime stories, family history, story books, and comic books. Her favorite family story was about how her father's mother, Nana, traveled from Russia, across the Pacific Ocean, landing in San Francisco. She was only fourteen years old, and she was put on many trains by strangers who looked out for her and helped her to find her future husband and his siblings in New York. Storytelling is an art. It captures our imagination, and it helps us to understand each other and our world. Patti's story has both successes and failures. She was a competitive athlete from her twenties to her sixties. She received the Most Valuable Player Award at the National Volleyball Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2003 when she was fifty years old. Today Patti lives in Long Beach, California, with her husband, Alex, where they enjoy growing vegetables, herbs, and fruit. They also have two telescopes that show them the ever-changing universe filled with wonders.Patti wanted to share her stories with other people, perhaps to inspire them to write and share their own stories. She says that one of the things that makes us unique is our creativity. We express that creativity through art, photography, cooking, clothing design, music, tools, and telling stories. She hopes that your journey through her imagination will be enlightening and entertaining. Safe travels!
