This is a strange book in that you never want to call a book about climate apocalypse funny, but this is. Mostly because it's told from the kids' point of view, and their universal acknowledgement that their parents are useless and willfully ignorant, especially about the severity of the climate crisis.
There is one part that resolves far too easily which prevents me from giving this a five star rating. But that doesn't ruin the rest of the book for me, or hopefully for you.
