"Science and fiction mix in a story that will inform young readers about the most important issue of our time"
Princess Olivia lives a life of luxury in a palace high on a mountain in her father’s kingdom, until the day it becomes a republic that is. Forced to move down into the city, she soon realises it’s a whole new world, and nowhere near as clean or healthy as it should be. Discovering a talent for science Olivia sets out with her new friends Ravi and Helga to work out what’s killing the trees, causing all the downpours, and filling the air with smog.
Written by Lucy Hawking, daughter of scientist Stephen Hawking, the story succeeds both as a fun and exciting riches to not-quite-rags adventure and as an eye-opening introduction to climate change and its causes. As Olivia learns what is heating up the atmosphere so will readers especially as the book also contains additional information sections specially written by leading scientists. There are messages too about the importance of community and democracy and this is a rousing, lively and effective introduction to the issue of our time.
