Every time I picked up this book the title caused me to do a double take, but it's nothing to do with eating too much broccoli or meeting strangers from outer space. 

Instead it is a gripping family drama in the context of climate change, activism and community. Alongside a serious message and topical concerns, it's warm and funny!

It's the summer holidays, and thirteen-year-old Luke's life has been turned upside down.

His street has been earmarked for an airport expansion and in the house opposite a community of protestors have moved in. 

Luke's older sister, Rose has left home to join them and his parents are at a loss for what to do.

The family becomes more and more involved in the lives of the climate rebels with some unexpected outcomes. Will they succeed in stopping the expansion? What does this mean in terms of action against climate change? And what does it all mean for the family relationships?

Aimed at the middle grade reader of 8-12, this is a hugely entertaining and thought-provoking read. It challenges preconceptions about the lives and motivations of activists and delights in the details of family life. The characters are warm, funny and well-rounded and it's a great way of exploring a topical and important issue. (I'm just not sure about the title!)
