Autor Eoin Colfer, Andrew Donkin Ilustrat de Giovanni Riganoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 apr 2023 – vârsta până la 14 ani
This is a powerful, hopeful and timely story about the real effects of climate change: two young people on different continents whose lives are catastrophically changed by global warming. A graphic novel with glorious colour artwork throughout for children of all ages - from Eoin Colfer, previously Irish Children's Laureate, and the team behind Illegal, and his bestselling Artemis Fowl graphic novels.
Yuki lives in an increasingly deserted Inuit township in Nova Scotia. One day she sets out into the wilderness of the Arctic tundra planning to photograph a rare grolar bear (a terrifying grizzly-polar crossbreed created by climate change) - if she can prove it's a grolar, she can protect it from being shot. With only her faithful dog for company and adrift on a fragment of melting glacier, she finds herself being stalked across the changing wilderness by a starving grolar bear, with only her wits and her harpoon to keep her alive.
Sami lives in a fishing village on the Bay of Bengal. But because of the ever-rising ocean level, each day is a struggle to survive. One night, Sami sets out to return to his old, submerged family home, alone. He takes a deep breath and dives beneath the moonlit waters, hoping to find his past.
But a cyclone is coming ...
Illustrated by the talented Giovanni Rigano, this moving and important graphic novel will have breathtaking full-colour illustrations throughout.

Compelling
Gloriously rich illustrations...gripping graphic novel
Global is a graphic novel that tackles the very pressing subject of climate change...an inspiring and stark reminder of the need for urgent climate action
Eoin Colfer's vision of a drowning world is breathless fun...As in Illegal, the language is sparse, consisting of quick-fire dialogue and brief, staccato narration, complemented by Giovanni Rigano's haunting illustrations. This format will appeal to less confident readers, for whom the pictures will spell out the story in as much detail as the words. But this is also a skilfully plotted novel, in which obstacles are overcome, and characters given time to unravel. And as with all the best adventure books, the drama is made ever more vivid by constant juxtaposition with the everyday.
You won't want to put this book down - it's a great read with brilliant illustrations, bringing the catastrophes our world faces to reality
Moving, thrilling, action-packed and thought-provoking, this is adventure in the true sense of the word... but with an important message imprinted deep within its heart
A moving a powerful take on the climate change issues currently experiences around the world.
The artwork is stunning and this is a powerful and timely book
