Greendale is based on Neil Young's critically acclaimed 2003 album
and 2004 film of the same name. Many have referred to the album as a "rock
novel" which explores the effects of crime, media, consumerism, and
environmental issues on the Green family in the sheltered small Northern
California town of Greendale.
Even for politically active teenage girls, Sun Green has always been
different. There's been talk that the Green family women had great powers in
concert with nature, but Sun herself never really wondered too much about it.
Then, in the fall of 2003, as the nation gallops blindly into war, a Stranger
appears in her hometown of Greendale - and everything starts going to
hell! In an effort to overcome the pain the Stranger brings, Sun unearths the
mystery of the Green family women, and in doing so, finds her own inherent
power, not just to confront the Stranger, but to confront the mounting injustice
of the world outside of Greendale as well.
