What if a five-and-a-half-year-old girl knew more about the universe than anyone on Earth? Annie is an ordinary little girl who loves gummy bears, Barbie dolls, and chocolate ice cream. But an alien black box—an AI supercomputer—has shown her things no one else can imagine: visions of distant planets, ancient civilizations, and a mission that could change the fate of humanity. Guided by her grandfather Roni—an engineer on sabbatical with a stubborn streak and a big heart—Annie journeys across time and space to Nurtura, a dying world that once stood exactly where Earth stands now: rich, abundant, and blind to its own collapse. Nurtura’s ruin is a truth our own planet has long forgotten. Together, they encounter the Evanders, a once-brilliant species who hold the wisdom to prevent that same fate, and the Visionaries, who believe the changes that matter most begin within. With every visit to Nurtura, the knowledge she absorbs reshapes her—until the little girl who once sorted gummy bears by color emerges as a young leader entrusted with our world’s future. As Earth drifts toward the same environmental and moral collapse that destroyed Nurtura, Annie’s transformation may be the change that finally turns us back toward a better world.
A heartwarming and imaginative tale of love across generations, the power of wonder, and the choices that can save our world.
