*The kind people from SparkPress (BookSparks), sent me an advanced copy of this upcoming young-adult novel. I was excited to read because I haven't read too many young-adult stories lately. Perfect book to kick off summer 2022.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:*Clara, an eighth grader, has recently relocated from Puerto Rico after a hurricane.
*Jamie, also an eighth grader, is a local boy who lives for snowboarding.
*During a class research project, each of these young people take on opposite view points on a particular weather topic.
*While one is in favor of a weather "shift", another is quite adamant that the other, and everyone else, should think quite differently.
*While debating the issue, Clara and Jamie, come to know each other, both on school and personal sides.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*As I mentioned, I was excited to read a young-adult story as it had been quite some time since I did.
*Jamie and Clara's story was entertaining, engaging, and thoughtful.
*I enjoyed how the plot began with a focus on a school issue, but expanded to more personal and family issues.
*As must as the story was a pleasurable read, I also learned quite a bit about our planet, weather, and the effects it has on our Earth.
*There was not only an emphasis on personal empathy, but also on being thoughtful and conscious of the interactions between humans and their environment.
Who Should Read It:
