A soft, fantastical climate change story - it was not what I expected, but I did thoroughly enjoy the book. There were elements that sounded magical (Bea and her giant) but ended up being ordinary in the end.
I am very curious though how they managed to build a rocket ship after the world essentially ended, and why the babies were born so different from their mothers (could be an effect of living on Mars, or maybe something was done to make them genetically more “hardy” for Martian life, but it isn’t explained). <\spoiler>
