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.
