Booklist - 10/01/2023 Keith Arlo, 13, lives in a postapocalyptic world where fossil fuels nearly made the planet uninhabitable; now, the use of those fuels is strictly outlawed. Tasked with the responsibility of bringing his cousin Lulu back home after she lost her parents in an accident, he sets off on his two-day train trip. It's there that he meets a man named Malcolm, and after an accidental swap of their bags, Keith unearths a hidden operation known as Project F. Intrigued by what the project could mean for the future, Keith decides to dig deeper to find out more about the operation that Malcolm is so determined to bring to fruition. What he uncovers, however, leaves Keith in a dilemma: Do the benefits of moving humanity forward outweigh the disadvantages it would also bring? The author of the popular City of Ember series is back with a story that comments on the dangers of global climate change and reliance on fossil fuels. Middle-graders who like their books short and fast-moving will enjoy this imaginative piece of cli-fi. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
