This inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize
nominee Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager who has led a global
movement to raise awareness about the world's climate crisis -
using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young
children. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest
threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest,
they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more
trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and
the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest
left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the
forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea... A section at the
back explains that, in reality, the fight against the 'giants'
isn't over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight. This
book has been printed sustainably in the UK on 100% recycled paper.

The brand new series for young readers from bestselling author Lucy
Hawking. 'The more we find out about the world around us, the more
we can work out other, more complicated things, such as how the
universe began or how life got started on Earth . . .' Olivia Alez
is delighted about finally living a life away from the royal palace
in the mountains that used to be her home, after the Kingdom of
Alez decides it doesn't want a royal family any more. Now she can
finally give up boring princess lessons and learn about real
things, like volcanoes and the ocean and space! But Olivia is
completely unprepared for the world that awaits her. Thick, dark
clouds hang low over the city, and the rivers that she so longed to
see are choked with rubbish. And on top of it all, the weather just
feels wrong. With scorching hot sun one day and torrential rainfall
the next, it seems nearly impossible for the people and animals in
Alez to adapt to their extreme climate. Olivia, horrified by what
she sees, becomes determined to get to the bottom of Alez's
dangerous weather patterns. With the help of some new friends and
armed with a scientific lab coat that would make Albert Einstein
jealous, Olivia sets out to solve the mystery and save Alez from
climate destruction before it's too late . . .
Everyone talks about how powerful the oceans are, how huge, how
mysterious, all those underwater creatures living down there in the
deep. But they've got no one to stand up for them! Olivia Alez is
loving her life away from the royal palace. Now she isn't a
princess anymore she's even more determined to be a science
investigator, finding out things about the world around her. When
she goes to visit her uncle Cassander for a holiday, she realises
there's a huge problem. The oceans are filled with rubbish, and she
can't see any fish swimming about. They're nothing like the bright
blue seas full of life that she's seen before. When Captain Max and
his parrot turn up, Olivia and her best friend Ravi decide that
getting on board their pirate ship as they hunt for treasure might
be a good way to find out what's going on in the water. But they
quickly realise that they've got more to discover than they ever
imagined . . .
