We are pleased to showcase Brian Adams’ newest book KABOOM!, a YA eco-novel. We interviewed Brian after the publication of his recent novel Love in the Time of Climate Change, which won the Forward Review IndieFab 2014 gold medal in the humor category. Congrats to Brian on his newest endeavor.
In KABOOM!, Cyndie and Ashley, two spunky and spirited teens from coal country West Virginia, become activists overnight when their beloved mountain is threatened by Big Coal. This novel tracks the girls’ experiences as they start their own club, Kids Against Blowing Off Our Mountaintops, exploring the power of grassroots activism, even as they both begin to fall in love for the first time. The lively interplay of character dialogue and humorous narration not only makes serious environmental concerns more accessible but also inspires teens to evoke positive change in the world around them.
