On an atoll not far from now, nor far from here, we meet a young man named Mala, who is eager to discover the secrets of his island home. Woleai is strangely unaffected by changes wreaking havoc across the rest of the planet and Mala needs to know why. The importance of his observations is brought to the forefront when scientists from afar arrive on the island. A Sky of Wretched Shells is a provocative story in the face of climate change, a merging of ancient and modern learning and an answer to the question of our place in the stars.
