Gr 4–6— This detailed overview of the climate crisis is presented in graphic format. Though the format is not conventional, the content is typical for the subject matter. The series touches on deforestation and its causes and impacts, human causes of animal extinction, and fossil fuels vs. renewable energy sources. Vivid cartoon graphics depict a world in crisis. While some of the content is delivered through character conversations, it reads more like a traditional nonfiction book dropped into a graphic novel, missing some potential advantages of the format. Nevertheless, the comic book style may attract reluctant readers. VERDICT While it falls short of its potential, the graphic format may appeal to some readers, making it an additional selection.

Being forced from home is something no one wants to experience. But climate change is causing flooding, new weather patterns, and destruction to houses and cities. It can make resources such as food or clean water hard to come by. It can even wipe out entire communities.
As climate change increases, many people must make a difficult decision: to stay and endure severe weather or leave with nothing but hope. See what causes climate migration and how this crisis can be slowed or even stopped.
