Very funny. The author filled this book with brilliant lines especially those that mocked the parents. These are bound to be a big hit with readers. The topic of the environment was a very good one and a great plot

#TheSummerWeTurnedGreen is the first book by #WilliamSutcliffe that I have read. Wow, who would have thought the topic of #ClimateChange could be the basis for an engaging story. This is a great way for young readers to scratch the surface of the role of protest and activism. Thanks to #Netgalley for gifting this to me in exchange for an honest review.

I received this as an ARC on NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review

Actual rate: 5

Good:
- Climate Activism!!!
- Realistic storyline! It felt so so real
- Characters from interesting backgrounds
Bad:
- Predictable

I loved this! A fresh and relevant story following a boy who lives on the non-condemned half of a road that is to be destroyed for an airport nearby to expand. He lives a separate life to the commune that has moved in to the house over the road, until one day his sister decides to join them.

This book discusses relevant topics in a storyline that was funny and enjoyable, if a little predictable at times. The characters explored came from different backgrounds, had rocky relationships, and weren't perfect, and that was the charm. I honestly feel I could look to the news tomorrow and see this story on there!

Hilarious, real and exciting!

I would recommend this book to anyone who cares about the climate (or parents that want to introduce their kids to this), friends aged 8-15, and anyone who loves a good laugh.

Overall: 5/5

This story is told from the point of view of thirteen-year-old Luke, who has just had his life turned completely upside down. Climate rebels, family issues and being 'different' are cleverly covered in this fun book.

A good story highlighting environmental issues in a subtle way.

It approaches the subject from a teenagers point of view and tackles some stereotypes and misconceptions.

Definitely worth reading, some amusing passages tucked into the pages and it has a solid storyline to draw you in.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
