A highly topical story of political activism, full of faith in youth and taking action.

What's the point of school when the world's about to end? Why make plans for college and career, life and relationships, if everything's going to fall apart in a few years? The perils of climate change plunge Lou into deep psychological distress, draining her will to live. But one day, she discovers Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and realizes that instead of being passive and depressed, she can do something. She and two classmates set themselves a challenge: organize the first big climate protest in her town, the first climate strike. A risky move in a sleepy town where everyone minds their own business. Will the young people--or even older ones--rally to their cause?
