Excellent on-the-edge-of-your-seat Read

P.S.K. · 7 October 2024

Alan Gratz created an amazing story. I really hope if it goes to film, that he holds the reigns of the story as well as he did in this story.Three stories written so well independently, but yet converge on this valuable reminder to all of us to care for our planet.The plots contained consistent surprise elements that kept me reading. I flinched, crouched, ran with the teen characters as they faced major disasters in their home space.The thrill-ride of the story aside, the underlying theme touched on the reminder that each of us must care for our planet. As Natalie said, "You can use your voice to speak up about climate change."Read it. Embrace the climate change movement.
