28 years ago today, the #TokioExpress was hit by a rogue wave and spilled a container full of LEGO into the sea. Adrift is a beautifully presented book that tells the story of this unlikely cargo spill without making light of the very serious problem of plastic pollution.

My review of Awakenings by Claudie Arseneault
Engaging introductory fantasy novella
