Did you know that climate change isn't just about scorching summers? It's also about monster storms, freezing cold winters and changing weather patterns. All this extreme weather affects the balance of nature, and harms plants and animals. But should we do something to help? CAN we do something? Read and find out!

Lime Plus/Band 11+ books provide challenging plots and vocabulary as well as opportunities to practise inference, prediction and reading stamina.

Pages 46 and 47 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.

Mio thinks climate change is the biggest problem every living thing, including us humans, is facing. Global warming is slow moving (it's been sneaking up on us for decades!) but it's also really hard to slow it down... She wrote this book because we need everyone, ESPECIALLY smart, enthusiastic kids to sound the alarm and act now before it's too late!

About the Author

Mio Debnam is the author of over 20 books ranging from picture books to novels. She's also a wife, mother to two kids, and has two dogs. She's Japanese and was born in Tokyo but grew up mostly in Hong Kong and the UK, dreaming about becoming an intrepid animal scientist and writer, like her heroes David Attenborough, Jane Goodall and Gerald Durrell.

Mio studied medical microbiology and genetic engineering at university, but got distracted from science by a job in finance, before finding her way back to working with words.

She spent many years as an editor in chief of two children's newspapers and as a children's book editor for a publisher, but her greatest passion is in writing and storytelling. Mio loves sharing stories and giggles, and still enjoys regaling readers and unsuspecting passers-by of all ages with strange and fascinating facts...
