Description
FROM: Stevie Henry (shenry@gmail.com)
Thanks for coming to see me; but by the time you read this, it will be too late. No one will have started to panic, yet; but in less than two months nothing will be the same. What came first, The Chicken or the Egg Flu? I wish it mattered. But let’s just say, maybe go back to wearing a mask, bathing in sanitizer, and avoid birds and eggs for a bit…
I did not kill my brother. I did quite the opposite, really.
It’s the year 2052. Stevie Henry is a Cherokee girl working at a museum in Texas, trying to save up enough money to go to college. The world around her is in a cycle of drought and superstorms, ice and fire … but people get by. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
When a mysterious boy shows up at Stevie’s museum saying that he’s from the future -- and telling her what is to come -- she refuses to believe him. But soon she will have no choice.
From the author of the Walter Award-winning Man Made Monsters comes a YA novel that conjures our futures in startling life – the ones that we are headed towards, and the ones we can still work towards.

The Art Thieves asks questions like, what art is worth preserving? And how far would you go to save the ones you love?
Stevie's half brother is allergic to everything, not ideal for an apocalypse. Her job at the museum helps her find fulfillment, and maybe romance, but then she finds out about an impending apocalypse from a time traveller.
Stevie is a Cherokee citizen and her Nativeness and Native community feature prominently. In the real world, Natives already exist in their apocalypse, so seeing how the tribes react to another one was very cool.
This is a Indigenous futurism at its finest. The Art Thieves from the future are trying to preserve things that have been lost to time for the future, the real ones that might get lost to time.
It's up to you as the reader to decide what was worth saving, and if they chose correctly. My opinion is that they did.

Let me start by saying this isn't the kind of story I normally gravitate to, but I am a huge fan of Man Made Monsters, so I had to read this one.
Once I started this book, however, I was immediately hooked. There's just something about Andrea Rodgers' writing that just keeps you reading.
So if book about the apocalypse, time travel, and environmentalism are you're thing I highly recommend this book.
