Camp Zero

A near-future settlement in remote northern Canada is the setting of Michelle Min Sterling's debut novel. There a visionary American architect leads the construction of Camp Zero, meant to begin a new way of life. Rose, a clever young woman working under a code name, is offered a place among the Blooms, hired as entertainment for the camp's men, but her real job is to secretly watch the volatile architect; in return, she and her Korean immigrant mother, displaced by climate change, will get a home. Other strands follow an all-female military research unit at a climate station and a young professor eager to leave his wealthy family behind. It won the Libby Book Award for Best Diverse Author.

Jenna Bush Hager included it on her Read With Jenna book club list for the Today Show.
