Told in short diary entries filled with scrapbook clippings, this riveting ecothriller is one girl's attempt to stay grounded in a world where disaster has become the norm.
It's the year 2015, a time when global warming has begun to ravage the environment. In response, the United Kingdom becomes the first country to mandate carbon rationing-a well-intentioned plan that goes tragically awry. When her carbon debit card arrives in the mail, sixteen-year-old Laura is just trying to pass her exams, manage her ecopunk band, and catch the attention of her gorgeous classmate Ravi. But as multiple natural disasters strike and Laura's parents head toward divorce, her world spirals out of control. A severe drought sparks fires and deadly riots; then the highest-category hurricane in recent history strikes London. With the death toll in the thousands and climbing, Laura and her family face the unimaginable as her older sister clings to life.

The Carbon Diaries 2015
Have you heard about global warming? Come on, you can admit it! You know you have. There'll be heat waves, water shortages, big storms, all kinds of scary things happening, and civilization will struggle to survive under the strain. But teenagers will still be teenagers, never fear!
Laura is a sixteen-year-old Londoner who plays bass in the band dirty angels, whose sister is determined to make everyone pay for her not getting her year abroad, and who has parents who could not BE more embarrassing.
Laura also has a crush on the cute boy next door, but experienced readers will soon realize that he is not the guy for her. Sure, she's worried about power shortages, and carbon rationing, but those won't last, will they?
I liked the combination of regular teenage interests mixed with a steadily worsening yet not soul-crushing depiction of what the world could be like in a global-warming scenario. There's awful things happening, yes, but there's also cooperation and resourcefulness, and hope for civilization, and a sequel!
It's a little too educational for pure enjoyment, but it's still pretty good. Includes a list of websites on how to live green in the back, along with a glossary of Britishisms. Gee, too bad I didn't know about those until I was already finished with the book.
