A group of 12-year-old friends, concerned about climate change, embark on a remarkable journey to save the earth. Their project takes them across America and Norway, filled with outside-the-box hijinks and civil disobedience. They believe that adults are not taking action to make real change, and they are determined to take matters into their own hands. With the help of a retired kids' rights lawyer and a grandma who knows how to march, they set out to draft a constitutional amendment that will protect the planet and get it passed in Congress. However, can a bunch of 12-year-olds really draft an amendment that will change enough hearts and minds across the country to get it ratified before the clock runs out? Steven B. Frank crafts a funny and fast-paced story of heightened-reality wish-fulfillment, loaded with the witty patter of smart kids, in this book that reads like Aaron Sorkin for middle grade and plumbs the complexities of the Constitution and the critical turning point of global climate change.
