Rooted in real-world science and technology, the stories offer a roadmap for a future where our planet can thrive. From a rewilding project with unexpected consequences to a rebellion against augmented reality, these wide-ranging stories will leave the reader feeling a little less powerless in the fight to save planet Earth.

Review

The nine tales by talented authors, from the fantastical to the everyday, embrace wildlife corridors, plastic-eating creatures, cities run on green power… Much more inspiring than dystopian wastelands. -- Nicolette Jones - The Sunday Times

You'll find imaginative tales about everything from guerilla gardening to skyscraper farms - and you'll be left feeling inspired and empowered to help our planet. - The Week Junior

Diverse in style, and inspirational in nature, this nine-story anthology of climate-themed fiction is an empowering, engaging toolkit for young readers, environmentalists and activists. - LoveReading4Kids

"I like the environmental message. The shorter length of each story also makes the book more accessible to younger audience. - NetGalley Reviewer

The tales offer our little ones food for thought on how our precious planet might be fixed. Lauren James does a great job of summarizing each one and the facts that have created the fiction plus gentle observations and providing suggestions about how we can make a difference in our lifestyle choices. The general message is of positivity, reassurance for children that they aren’t solely responsible for fixing the planet, and empowerment to galvanize them into becoming the type of adult who does change the world. - NetGalley Reviewer
