Greta’s Story: The Schoolgirl Who Went on Strike to Save the Planet

Greta’s Story shows that no matter how young you are, you can do something big that changes the world. This book is a very well written and detailed account of Greta Thurnberg’s climate strength movement. It follows her from a nervous young school girl, who gets depressed about climate change, to a world speaker, leading strikes of millions of people. It flows perfectly with good descriptive words. It makes you feel as if you are actually there following along with Greta. It explains hard truths in a way that captures your attention and makes you want to take action. The book develops the characters in a way that makes you feel like you know and care about their goals and causes. I would recommend this book to someone who is picking a book to read with schools because it teaches you the basics of climate change and what we need to do now. I also would recommend this for children who are interested in social protest, so they can join the strike. I think this book is right for first grade through high school.
