An eighth grader starts a podcast on climate activism and rallies her friends to create lasting change in their local community and beyond, in this companion to Dress Coded.
When Mary Kate Murphy joins a special science pilot program focused on climate change, the class opens her eyes to lots of things she never noticed before about her small suburban town: Kids waste tons of food at school without a second thought. Parents leave their cars running in the pick-up lane all the time. People buy lots of clothes they don’t really need. Some of her friends who live in the city and are bused to her school don’t always feel included. And the mayor isn’t willing to listen to new ideas for fixing it all. Mary Kate and her friends have big plans to bring lasting change to their community and beyond. And now is the time for the young people to lead and the leaders to follow—or get out of the way.

      Narrator Courtney Lin creates a youthful, passionate voice for 12-year-old Mary Kate, who works with her classmates to create a new club, the Climate Club, to save the earth's environment. In doing so, she also finds the courage to advocate for others, such as her friend Lucy, who has been sick with an unknown illness; her fellow classmates who face racism; and a new mayoral candidate who hopes to make change in her stagnant community. Lin smoothly navigates Mary Kate's emotions as she encounters both challenges and moments of encouragement. Fans of realistic fiction and climate activists alike will enjoy hearing Mary Kate's story as she discovers how to champion her cause and influence others to do the same.
