This is part of the Pocket Change Collective. This is a small collection of small books (they can fit in your pocket) on topics related to teens today. I’ve seen the author speak at an event for English teachers and liked what he had to say.

This is a quick read about the work Martinez has done to raise awareness about environmental issues and how to make a change.

The book is written in an informal manner. He includes a section about his music that felt like a quick commercial break.

This short, essay style book is a call to action to address the climate crisis. Xiuhtezcatl Martinez uses real world experiences to show that the climate crisis is an issue that affects impoverished people the most while the wealthy in developed countries reap the benefits of the messes they have caused all over the world. I look forward to looking into X's music and the other artists mentioned in this book that inspired him.

Short yet important book about the climate crisis and how it intersects and is impacting by all other aspects of life including late stage capitalism, asylum seekers, people of different socioeconomic backgrounds and all sorts of other things.

This felt a little like an ad about Xiuhtezcatl's music career with a small focus on what the music was about which was the fact that marginalised people are those who suffer to the climate crisis the most. So far this is the most disappointing of the series.
