World rights to THIS ONE WILD LIFE by Angie Abdou sold to Susan Renouf at ECW Press by Samantha Haywood of the Transatlantic Agency. A personal memoir of self-discovery and parenting in a screen-driven world, THIS ONE WILD LIFE chronicles Angie and her daughter’s attempt to hike a peak a week in the summer of 2019. The story follows their personal dramas and preoccupations while exploring shyness, child-rearing, confidence in girls, approaches to youth sport & fitness, the importance of outdoor activity, effects of screen time, prevalence of social media, the role of movement in creativity, the connection between nature and spirituality, the effects of tourism on communities, obsession with gear leading to excess consumerism, and approaches to talking about climate change with children.
