How to be Happy on a Cloudy Planet: Book 1

Meet Lin. She's radical, fanatical, and impatient for change.

HER PLANET Luratia is a world of clouds and lightning and the Nano Age wonders of space tourism, virtual-reality videophones, and wireless solar electricity-all made possible by the super-material graphene, recently discovered on Earth.

HER LIFE Lin was born in a place not of her choosing-the primitive fishing village of Bree, where technology is outlawed and mail is still delivered by carrier birds and fish. Lin feasts on daydreams of traveling the world and bringing progress to backward Bree.

HER STORY When Lin loses the person she most loves, she takes on a difficult fight to modernize Bree. Lin is certain that life for everyone will improve, but she discovers instead that progress can be messy and win you enemies along the way.
