Green Rising by Lauren James
4.0
Read for PRC
Really interesting dystopian focusing on the current climate change issues - enjoyed reading it.
Review for ReadPlus
Written by author Lauren James, founder of the Climate Fiction Writers League, this novel is part of the effort to raise climate change activism awareness. This science fiction dystopian is told from the perspectives of Theo and Hester, with articles, tweets, blogs and other media snippets intermingled throughout. Readers will recognise the influence of Greta Thunberg in this extremely relevant novel regarding climate change and activism. The story is well paced, moving between the two main characters seamlessly. Ideal for readers of other dystopian stories where teenagers are impacted by some environmental or viral factor, and develop powers, such as 'The Darkest Minds' series by Alexandra Bracken.
Themes: Dystopian; Science Fiction; Climate Change; Global Warming; LGBTQIA+; Activism.
