About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins expressing 'eco-anxiety' or feeling powerless in the face of global climate news. This story serves as a proactive antidote to the helplessness children often feel regarding the environment. Set in a near-future England, it follows thirteen-year-old Telly and her tech-savvy climate observation club as they attempt to take literal control over the turbulent weather patterns threatening their world. The narrative balances the high-stakes tension of natural disasters with a grounded focus on community and collective action. It is developmentally appropriate for middle schoolers, emphasizing themes of digital literacy, leadership, and personal responsibility. You might choose this book to help transition a child from worrying about the world to finding their place as an active participant in solving its problems.
