It's horrible and it's happening - How to Turn Your Parents Green is about to hit the shops. Parents - run and hide! Kids - prepare to save the planet!
Here's the Introduction:
The weather’s gone weird. The polar bears are anxious. Ghastly Global Warming is here. Every day there’s some new thing to worry about, but don’t panic. Help is at hand. Yes, someone’s about to save the planet and guess what? It’s you.
Only you can do it, because only you can make the culprits change their ways. Only you can nag, pester, bug, torment and punish the people who are merrily wrecking your world. And who are they? Who cranks the heating up so you can hardly breathe? Who drives everywhere? Who chucks out mountains of Revolting Rubbish? You? Your friends?
Meet the Groans. They may grumble about the traffic and gripe about heating bills, but grown-ups have got us into this mess and they’re too busy goggling at the TV and booking exotic holidays to sort it out.
Only you can make those Groans behave because only you can make their lives a misery if they don’t. We’ll help you draw up a Glorious Green Charter for them to sign, and show you how to punish them – oh yes – if they refuse to change their Grumbelicious ways.
So don’t be an Eco-Worrier, be an Eco-Warrior. And turn your parents Green.

Dear Mr Russell,
I am writing from The Browser. Each day in our FiveBooks feature, we interview an expert -- a scholar, artist, politician, journalist, or other eminent figure -- who recommends and discusses the five best books in his or her field.
I thought you might be interested in our interview with the science writer Alice Bell on Science Books for Children:
Children learn in many different ways and the best science books for young people reflect that, says the science writer. Her suggested reading takes in robots used to explain sex and a picture book about dinosaurs. She recommends How to Turn Your Parents Green as one of the best five books on the subject.

Kind regards,
Julia.
