CIP. Rosen Central. 2012. PLB $31.95; ebook $31.95. Gr 6-9 Each volume explores how climate change is impacting people, animals, and plants, and how it will have increasingly serious consequences. Stressing the urgency of the problems without making the situation seem hopeless, the authors encourage readers to act both by implementing individual actions (limiting lawn watering, leading workshops at school, etc.) and by supporting social and political changes; they also introduce futuristic options, such as constructing skyscraper farms. Color photos and diagrams offer a bit of visual variety. However, some illustrations, such as an image meant to help explain the impact of climate change on the California coastline, are too small to present information effectively. An extensive list of government agencies and private organizations working on environmental issues and suggestions for further reading offer additional resources for readers wanting to turn what they learn into action.
