One If: A Virago FantasyOne If: A Virago Fantasy by Carol B. Allen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A book that gives an eerie foreshadowing to Earth’s future if we cannot get climate change in check. But this book is so much more, a YA tale of three teenagers that are abducted to a faraway planet named Spyridon, where they are solely responsible to find a solution for the rampant changes that climate change has wrecked upon the planet. Parker and the other teens have to pool their wits and limited knowledge quickly to stop both a full out war between the divided population of Spyridon as well as the ravaging changes to the planet. A true coming of age tale for teenagers who love SciFi and fantastical adventures.
The adventures and SciFi portions of this book were very well done. The worldbuilding and underlying environmental themes were also well done. Some of the finer plot points and twists were odd or didn’t fit. I had to remember in this book that this was geared to YA and not Adults, so some inconsistencies are bound to be there.
