Ash’s Cabin /

Ash has always felt alone.

Adults ignore the climate crisis. Other kids Ash's age are more interested in pop stars and popularity contests than in fighting for change. Even Ash’s family seems to be sleepwalking through life. The only person who ever seemed to get Ash was their Grandpa Edwin. Before he died, he used to talk about building a secret cabin, deep in the California wilderness. Did he ever build it? What if it’s still there, waiting for him to come back…or for Ash to find it? To Ash, that maybe-mythical cabin is starting to feel like the perfect place for a fresh start and an escape from the miserable feeling of alienation that haunts their daily life. But making the wilds your home isn’t easy. And as much as Ash wants to be alone…can they really be happy alone? Can they survive alone?

★ "Wang masterfully adapts this storyline for contemporary audiences, seamlessly weaving questions of identity, gender, race (Ash has Chinese and Irish ancestry), and climate change into this fundamental tale of survival. Searing and radiant." ― Kirkus
★ "Wang (Stargazing) delivers a stunning, contemplative wilderness adventure via muted earth-tone watercolours that tackles head-on the present-day experience of living in what often feels like a time of apocalyptic change." ― Publisher's Weekly
★ "Wang's emotive, empathic illustrations elevate an already impactful narrative into a stupendous visual masterpiece, with and without panels, swathed in daytime California golds and chillier nighttime blues. Perfection―literary and artistic―awaits here." ― Booklist
★ "This book is a page-turner and readers will both worry and cheer for Ash every step of the way. Highly recommended for all middle school and high school libraries." ― School Library Journal
★ "Beautiful, complex and affirming, Ash's Cabin will prompt deep conversations about how best to support one another and our environment, at a time when the future is uncertain and peace can be hard to find." ― BookPage
★ "Wang communicates with breathless tension the high stakes of solo survival in the Californian wilderness, from foraging mistakes and luckless-to-terrifying altercations with wildlife to big-picture issues of climate crisis that hang like wildfire smoke over the narrative." ― BCCB
