Climate is just the start by Mikaela Loach

A book review by Seaford Head Year 9 students.

 

 

 

“I love this book because it is a wonderful blend of fact and experience. Mikaela
transports you across the globe and through time as she explains the facts of the climate
crisis. It’s very inspiring the way she writes, and she doesn’t make you feel guilty or
depressed but makes you feel motivated and want to act!” – Bethan Lewis, year 9.

 

“Climate is just the start by Mikaela Loach is a great book for young and older readers
alike as it explains concepts such as capitalism, the global north and the south along with
climate change. It simplifies tricky concepts and makes them interesting when they may
not be otherwise. Mikaela is an excellent narrator who is able to pull anybody in with her
inspiring words. I really recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about
our world and how to care for it.” – Isobel Herbert, year 9.

 

“Climate is just the start is a great book that provides a comprehensible yet in depth guide
to the climate crisis, and everything that goes with it. It tackles everything from the
effects of the climate crisis on indigenous communities to the social systems which cause
them, and also explores how we as people have not only a responsibility to protect the
planet, but the power to do so using our voices and actions to create sustainable change.
The author Mikaela Loach narrates the book with passion, sharing her own experiences as
a climate activist. She is an inspiring role model for people of all ages, and I believe her
book should be read by everyone.” – Celia Jones, year 9.
