"This inventive YA novel melds ancient myths with modern issues around the climate crisis."
Mythic in scope and futuristic in style, Sarah Holding's Chameleon is an inventive work of YA climate fiction that will appeal to readers who have a keen interest in tackling climate change, and love pacey, complex sci-fi style contexts.
Conjuring Atlantis as it teeters on the brink of catastrophe Chameleon is powerfully set-up: “With each day that passes, there will be ever more violent climatic, seismic, volcanic and meteoric activity, and you will soon exhaust all possible means of preventing or holding off the kingdom’s demise”. Into this urgent crisis, scientists create three genetically engineered humans, the first to have blue eyes, and the first to possess the ability to shapeshift, and it falls to this trio to find a way to collaborate and navigate a way through the impending disaster.
A powerful work of climate fiction woven with sci-fi elements and fascinating takes on technology and mythology, Chameleon is also a very human story driven by memorable characters whose journeys are at once thrilling and thought-provoking as they strive to ensure the survival of civilisation.
