Description
Book SynopsisSchool student Ellie is kind-hearted and intelligent but impulsive. She’s anxious about the future of the planet, so when power-hungry oil tycoon, Muelo, makes a bid to become mayor of her city, she feels compelled to stop him. Facing off against the charismatic, dynamic and relentlessly ruthless Muelo, Ellie finds herself in a confrontation that tests the limits of her courage. Sapiens, an enchantress of the mind, takes Ellie and her friends on humankind’s journey to our present climate catastrophe. Meanwhile, there’s a murder to be solved. A thrilling novel of hope and activism, inspiring the young and the not-so-young to take action to protect our future.
Trade Review'Ellie and Sapiens includes all the ingredients that I know are popular with young adults. They are increasingly concerned (and angry) about the lack of action to tackle climate change. It is an enthralling read with the additional benefit of offering multiple buds for the flowering of discussion.'- Beth O'Brien
