One of the few good things to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic has been an increased interest in science and how it can help us move towards a healthier world.

Young people are way ahead of the older generations in realising the urgency of looking after our planet – there is a real sense they are determined to do a better job than we did. This book is bit scarily realistic, but it is also funny, inspiring and full of great characters. It is backed up by real science too.

I hope it can both entertain and encourage a new generation of planetary activists.
