Reseña del libro "Good Girl's Guide to Anarchy (en Inglés)"

All Flora wants to do is finish high school. But right now, she’d settle for running water.



Coming-of-age meets eco-fiction in this novel for teens who can relate to trying to make the right choices while the world burns.


Welcome to Ocean Falls… The problem is, I shouldn’t be here. Flora Phillips should be squeezing her way through crowds of wannabe cowboys at the Stampede, not stuck in Ocean Falls with zero friends, zero plumbing, and almost zero cell service. At sixteen, she should be in high school, living a normal life, not bushwhacking up to her front door.


Flora’s parents have moved their family to a ghost town in the remote Great Bear Rainforest on the BC coast to start an intentional community. It’s the perfect place to go if you want to escape civilization. The problem is, Flora doesn’t.


As her friendship grows with a couple of kids from town, Flora starts to think that maybe Ocean Falls isn’t all bad. But when her parents get involved with protests against logging the rainforest, the locals grow increasingly suspicious of Flora’s anarchist family. Flora must decide for herself what being good—for her family, for the planet, and for herself—really means.



Flora Phillips struggles to adapt to life off the grid when her dysfunctional family moves to a remote ghost town in the BC/Pacific Northwest rainforest to start an intentional community.



Key Selling Points:


The Good Girl’s Guide to Anarchy flips expectations. Sixteen-year-old Flora is the rule-follower in a family who pride themselves on being nonconformist. All she wants to do is go to school, while her parents want her to rebel against society. 
Flora’s parents have moved her and her three younger siblings to a ghost town in the Great Bear Rainforest in the Pacific Northwest. They want to start an intentional community: a new life free of the “evils” of modern society—evils which apparently, to Flora’s dismay, include a high school education. They have purchased a group of five abandoned houses that don’t have running water, working plumbing, phone service, or internet access.
The Good Girl’s Guide to Anarchy will resonate with YA audiences for its depiction of how current political and cultural conflicts impact relationships—both between generations and between peers—without slotting anyone into easy categories of right and wrong. It shows young people trying to set their course for a sustainable future in a world where no choice feels uncompromised. 
A coming-of-age novel. Flora struggles with her parents’ authority over her life, and especially with her dogmatic stepfather. She is made to take on a mature level of responsibility, including helping her young sister in a dramatic plot turn where she is poisoned by local Foxglove flowers.
Will appeal to readers who enjoy eco-fiction and climate fiction. The conflict between the environmental protesters and the logging company is a timely, current issue.
The environmental protest is also reminiscent of the War in the Woods, a series of environmental protests and blockades that took place on Vancouver Island, BC, in the 1990s. The blockades in the summer of 1993 against the logging of the temperate rainforest were the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history until 2021.
Debut author Laura Nicol grew up in British Columbia and spent part of her childhood in Ocean Falls, where the novel unfolds. The story is loosely inspired by her own experience with anarchist parents who moved their family off the grid. 
The dramatic, beautiful backdrop of the Pacific Northwest adds to the atmosphere of the book. Flora feels stifled by the humid rainforest, while also coming to see its beauty and the importance of protecting it from development.
