The First Rule of Climate Club

More about the book

An eighth grader starts a podcast on climate activism and rallies her friends to create lasting change in their local community and beyond. When Mary Kate Murphy joins a special science pilot program focused on climate change, she becomes aware of issues in her small suburban town: kids waste food at school, parents leave their cars running in the pick-up lane, and many buy clothes they don’t need. Some of her friends from the city feel excluded, and the mayor is resistant to new ideas for improvement. Determined to make a difference, Mary Kate and her friends devise plans to bring about meaningful change. It’s time for young people to lead, and for those in power to listen or step aside.
