I kept waiting for there to be more "meat," but it is a middle grade book, so I think my usual standards were too high. That said, I think it was great for a middle grade book and a good conversation starter for how climate change affects our world. It's good a good amount of adventure/mystery to keep kids intrigued while also probing them to think about what the world may look like if we continue using fossil fuels like we do.

I definitely want to read her "City of Ember" series after reading this one.
