The once fertile land has been overtaken by an ugly red fungus, which has caused the death of all the wheat for flour, the oat, and the sugar cane for sugar and golden syrup. It has also wiped out all the grass for cows and butter, leaving only a barren and desolate landscape. This has left Ella and her brother Emery alone in a city that is starving to death. If they are going to survive, they must get away, upcountry, to find Emery's mum. However, the journey is not an easy one, as they must travel across a dry, barren, and dangerous landscape.
One way they hope to make the journey is by using a dog-sled, which is a vehicle that is pulled by dogs. However, when Emery is injured, Elle finds herself suddenly responsible for safely navigating the wheeled dog-sled through rough terrain, and even rougher encounters with desperate people.
Despite the challenges they face, Ella and Emery are determined to make it to their destination. They rely on their knowledge of the land and their connection with the dogs to help them survive. Along the way, they encounter other people who are also struggling to survive, and they must learn to work together to find a way forward.
The Dog Runner is a powerful and thought-provoking book that highlights the importance of ancient knowledge and human ingenuity in the face of global disaster. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in environmental issues and the potential for human resilience in the face of adversity.
