From the bestselling author of Refugees , Alan Gratz returns with another electrifying fiction not far from reality — and this time the threat puts all of humanity at risk.
When a massive wildfire ravages Florida, a devastating hurricane devastates Miami, and polar bears begin hunting on human territory in the Canadian Arctic, four young people will have to fight for their lives amid the consequences of global warming.
Directly attacked by nature's fury—or would it be more appropriate to say "counterattacked?"—Akira, Natalie, Owen, and George, just thirteen years old, see the fight for survival go hand in hand with reflection on human actions and climate change, as well as the impacts of this imbalance.
Global warming is increasingly undeniable, and the effects of climate change are already upon us. The debate is necessary and urgent, and young people are essential to the future of humanity and life as we know it. Although the devastation is distinct and in different areas, there is only one planet and a single mission: stop climate change before it's too late!
Just as Refugees addressed the immigration crisis for young readers, Last Call warns of an increasingly urgent threat—climate change—and takes readers on a nonstop adventure that will have them devouring the book and planning their own actions to change the world.
