“Truly intelligent storytelling for teens.”—The Miami Herald
“Guys looking for nonstop action . . . will eat this up.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The fast-paced, gripping plot is an excellent vehicle for presenting a significant environmental message to an audience that might not hear it otherwise. The story stands on its own, but will be especially appreciated by those who experienced the cliff-hanger ending of Firestorm. All readers will eagerly await the third book.”—School Library Journal
“Klass continues the nonstop action in this thrilling sequel, in which the sensitive, appealingly conflicted hero finds plenty of new opportunities to confront ecological crisis.”—Booklist
“Klass once again combines breakneck adventure, unusual characters, and ecological issues—this time the destruction of the Amazon rainforest—in a rousing story.”—Don Gallo, English Journal
