“A brilliant collection of inspiring stories with the power to change the world. Innovative, original and essential.” — Hannah Gold

"An empowering, engaging toolkit for young readers, environmentalists and activists." — Lovereading4kids

Future Hopes: Hopeful stories in a time of climate change presents skyscraper farms, insects for dinner, and guerilla gardening as ingenious and thought-provoking solutions to the climate crisis. This anthology of climate fiction is rooted in real-world science and technology, offering a roadmap for a future where our planet can thrive. From a rewilding project with unexpected consequences to a rebellion against augmented reality, these wide-ranging stories will leave the reader feeling a little less powerless in the fight to save planet Earth.
