The Carbon-Neutral Adventures of the Indefatigable EnviroTeens

Author(s): First Dog on the Moon

General Graphic Books | Environmental Issues

Meet our superheroes: - Binky, aka The Monotreme! - Worried Norman, once bitten by a radioactive croissant and now Pastry Person! - Letitia, an occasionally bossy science-wombat and genius inventor!   Together, they are the EnviroTeens and they are about to get very, very angry.


Singleuse Plastic Brendan may have an evil plan to destroy all the world's turtles with his dastardly tur-tele-pooter but, believe it or not, there is something even more sinister than an angry plastic bag on a garbage island in the middle of the ocean ... Climate change! Oh no!


The EnviroTeens will do anything to stop this impending disaster: scale slippery volcanoes, scurry through forests full of poisonous armpit monsters, even meet Senator Ian, the Climate Denialist Potato. But can three teenagers and a chicken save the whole world? Why not, nobody else is! Maybe they are in with a chance? I can't look, it's too exciting!


A hilarious graphic novel about a group of teens who are determined to clean the planet and clear the air. A proportion of the publisher's profits will be donated to School Strike 4 Climate Australia.

Lucy Bailey's Review: 


Who is turtlenapping the world's turtles? Who is stealing all the beaches? Is it perhaps the notorious supervillain Singleuse Plastic Brendan with his crew of teeny tiny microbeads? Or perhaps it's Free Market Phillip and his formidable force of fracking-friendly Finance Ferrets? Or is it something much more sinister? Something everyone seems to be ignoring? Something like ... DUN DUN DUNNNN ... climate change!


Join the Enviroteens — Letitia, Binky (aka The Monotreme) and Worried Norman (aka Pastry Person) — as they attempt to get to the bottom of this and (possibly) save the world! Will they be victorious or will they be defeated by capitalism!


This absurdist graphic novel from The Guardian's award-winning cartoonist, First Dog on the Moon, confronts climate change head on when the Enviroteens discover adults have known about climate change for years. With elaborately illustrated battles and detailed plans of secret hideouts, this will appeal to madcap eight-year-olds while the pointed political satire is aimed more at environmentally engaged teens and adults.
