Review Quotes
"Young environmental activists around the world are making a difference... The comics were created by different cartoonists whose backgrounds, styles, and even palettes are equally wide-ranging. Overall, these are heartening examples of young people taking action against what is probably the most important issue in all our lives; readers will emerge compelled to make a difference themselves." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Reynolds and an assortment of artists have created something spectacular with this middle grade graphic novel perfect for young activists and those interested in bettering the world... The images are striking and emotional in places, moving in all the right ways, which perfectly complement the stories being told." -- School Library Journal (starred review)
"A brilliant, powerful, must-read for anyone and everyone on planet earth." -- Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
