Synopsis

Stuck at home in a state of shocked limbo, Julie and Zander, two thirteen-year-olds, try to make sense of the chaos they’ve witnessed, their awkward crushes, and an infinitely more complicated future – but the grown-ups are no help at all.

An urgent response to our times, This Flat Earth is a startling and deeply felt story of growing up in our confounding world.
