About this listen
Super Hurricanes. Raging wildfires. Boiling oceans. As global temperatures skyrocket, a two-degree rise becomes unavoidable. Is the next generation up to the challenge?
At the Climate Action Taskforce, solving the climate crisis is about more than just predicting the next superstorm. It’s about safeguarding the future of humanity. For its Academy, their secret mission is even more desperate, and when the founder who started it all mysteriously disappears, it’s a race against time to develop the brightest young minds of the century -before it’s too late.
For eleven-year-old genius troublemaker Jax Wilkinson, fighting back against bullies has cost him big time. Having pulled his last prank, he’s given an impossible choice when the authorities get involved.
No screens, no contact with the outside world… and no second chances. Can Jax make the cut?
Joining forces with teammates Grace, August, and Kylie, Team 19 must learn to work together to hack it at the Academy- and to survive a catastrophe beyond their wildest fears.

"There’s an oceanside helipad, futuristic research elements, and a nature preserve to pique interest...the academy is fun to explore...with its background tension set in motion via a missing climatologist and threats from shadowy figures, this is a fascinating start to a science-minded series." —Foreword Clarion Review
"This book gave me all the best Spy Kids vibes and was full of fast-paced adventure...and that cliffhanger! I'm looking forward to seeing what's next in store for our Climate Action Task Force! I also adored the illustrations from artist Adrienn Harto!" -Beaches and Reads
“...This story has potential appeal as it aligns with current trends in youth fiction… comedic dialogue and Harto’s black and white illustrations throughout the book are consistently humorous and engaging.” - Kirkus Reviews
