Bold illustrations alongside a hopeful story showcasing the power of standing up for what you believe in! I liked the characters and the plot but thought it could have been developed more in a few places to be a five star! A great resource for schools though as the infographics about climate change were easy to digest and very clear.

A really fun read and the best YA book I’ve read since The Hunger Games!  The characters are well developed; you love some, you hate some and Lewis changes your mind about some others! I loved the writing although I felt that so much was left till the end which left me feeling depleted!

Overall it’s packed full of action, adventure and twists so if that sounds good to you, read this book! 📕
