Overview

Leo knows things most twelve-year-olds don't. He knows which way the wind blows before the weather app does. He knows how to read a cow's mood, fix a fence with whatever's on hand, and talk to his best friend Clara - three counties away - on a CB radio his grandpa left in the barn. But when the government threatens to shut down the grazing permits that keep his family's ranch alive, Leo realizes knowing the land isn't enough. He's going to need the whole network - a retired fire lookout who can smell smoke from twelve miles, a rancher with twenty years of water records, and Nico, the new kid from California who showed up with a drone and no idea what a rattlesnake looks like. A story about dry lightning, old notebooks, and the quiet, stubborn work of holding on to something worth keeping.

Author Information

Leona Fox writes absurdist novels about bureaucracy, exclusion, and the strange comfort of being left behind. Her work explores the gap between how systems say the world works and how it actually feels to live in it. Before turning to fiction, she spent years analyzing risk and probability for an insurance company, translating human catastrophe into clean numbers-an experience that taught her that the absurd is just realism viewed from a slight angle.
