WE THE FUTURE is a striking Middle Grade debut that is as entertaining and engaging as it is important. With a great sense of humor and a fun, relatable voice, the book reads like an action/adventure that is impossible to put down. At the same time, it is a story on climate action and informs and inspires in a way that feels natural and fitting for the story. This is a perfect read not only for kids who are interested in climate activism, but for any kid looking for a fully enjoyable and exciting read. It is a must-read for all ages, with a realistic look at the impact of climate change while still maintaining an inspiring and hopeful tone. Highly recommend.

Absolutely adored this book! So much fun while still having a ton of heart, I couldn't put it down. A hilarious and heartwarming celebration of queer joy that will have readers laughing, tearing up, and delightfully desperate to be a Gaybutante.
