After "The Great Storm", people have finally realized that drastic measures must be taken in order to curb global warming. Great Britain will now be the guinea pig for carbon rationing, and teen Laura Brown is NOT pleased. Everything will now be a choice- use up your ration on the car? Nope. Vacation to Ibiza? Not anymore. Hairdryer or toast? Heat or computer? All of Britain seems to be in complete chaos, and things just get worse when the weather goes nuts. A drought means water rations too, and things really get messed up when the government shuts off individual water supplies for standpipes in the street. Will Laura and her family make it?
This book is an interesting look at what could happen if we don't stop and think about the resources we waste everyday.
