Two Degrees
(eBook)
Description
A new book from Alan Gratz is a major publishing moment! The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee and Ground Zero now tackles the urgent topic of climate change, with this breathtaking, action-packed story that will be the must-read middle-grade novel of the fall. Fire. Flood. Ice. Three forces of nature. Three kids swept up in a looming global catastrophe. Can they survive? In California, Akira Kristiansen is driving through the mountains with his dad when a wildfire sparks - and grows scarily fast. In just moments, Akira and his family have to evacuate... but which way is safe with fire all around them? In Churchill, Manitoba, Owen Mackenzie is running a tour for travelers who've come to see the polar bears. Lately the bears show up more and more as the ice thins. When Owen and his friend see a bear much too close for comfort, they end up in a fight for their lives. In Miami, a hurricane bears down on Natalie Torres. That's not so uncommon... but everyone's saying this could be it. The Big One. Natalie and her mom don't have anywhere to run to, so they hunker down to ride out the storm. Separated by hundreds of miles, Akira, Owen, and Natalie each struggle to survive against seemingly insurmountable odds. What ultimately connects the three kids is both surprising and hopeful: a commitment to changing the world, however and wherever they can. Just as Refugee brought awareness of the refugee crisis to young readers, this latest tour-de-force from Alan Gratz will shed light on the increasingly urgent threat of climate change - while taking readers on a nonstop adventure that will keep them turning the pages and making their own plans to better the world.
