Things are pretty quiet in the flat since his mother fell ill. She has stopped cooking meals and doing the housework and singing the songs she always used to sing. In fact, these days she hardly gets out of bed. Ade doesnt know what to do, so he watches the world outside. But suddenly that starts to change. One day, one of the other tower blocks crashes to the ground and Ade watches the disorder with disbelief. Have some of his school friends died in the disaster? Is his best friend Gaia still alive？Then another building falls down and then another. The world around Ades tower block is disintegrating under his very eyes. And then huge plants start to spring up and grow at an alarming rate. Where have they come from?
