Rezensionen
"Skilfully weaves together themes of global warming and inequality to address the critical issue of the climate crisis. This book not only educates young readers about the urgency of addressing climate change, but also encourages them to contemplate their role in building a sustainable future." - INIS Magazine

"Warmly and unsentimentaly told, the issues the two young people face are grippingly explored. The disproportionate impacts of climate change, and the effects of poverty and disability are intricately woven into an absorbing tale of two strong characters learning to help each other in order to survive. A page-turner with heart." - The School Librarian
