This is an excellent series that explores the global issues of sustainability and climate change through the lens of topics that students are familiar with: energy, shopping, food, houses, cities, and farming. These interactive titles are not only informative but also contain critical/design-based thinking and maker/STEAM challenges in each chapter. Information throughout each book is broken up into easily comprehensible chapters and sections accompanied by vivid graphics and pictures that enhance student understanding of the material being introduced. The included glossary also aids in student comprehension. Students are given a glimpse into the projected future of each topic as well as ways that they can get involved in influencing that future right now. Teachers will like the fact that the series aligns with the middle school Next Generation Science Standards for engineering design and problem-solving. Students will enjoy the engaging text and design as well as the interactive features. Each book forms the basis for a ready-made, project-based learning experience if students implement the included challenges and mini-projects. Classes studying the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals will find an extensive compilation of material in these titles. This series is highly recommended for all school libraries. Index.
