“Buckle up for Two Degrees, a Hollywood thriller of a book.” – The New York Times. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz comes this must‑read middle‑grade novel tackling the urgent topic of climate change.
Fire. Flood. Ice. Three natural disasters. Three kids who must fight to survive and change things for the better.
In California, Akira Kristiansen is driving through the mountains with her mom when a wildfire sparks—and grows scarily fast. In just moments, Akira and her 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 have 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 far 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 mother have nowhere to run, so they hunker down to ride out the storm.
Akira, Owen, and Natalie are all swept up in the global effects of climate change, each struggling to survive. The three kids are more deeply connected than they could ever imagine—in ways that will change them and can change the world. From the bestselling author of *Refugee*, *Allies*, *Grenade* and *Ground Zero*, Gratz sheds a light on the increasingly urgent threat of climate change in an engaging way. Gratz writing is exciting and takes readers on a nonstop adventure.
