Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was such an interesting book to read. I have not read about any court cases that didn't involve a crime between people as we traditionally think about it. So I was really curious to see how this works. When the youth were excited and it felt like the case was making progress, I was also excited as a reader! But the U.S. judicial being what it is and how it operates, there were a number of places where things were incredibly slow and frustrating. As a result, my interest would kind of come and go and it took me a while to finish this book.

I understand that it's important to keep spreading the word of this case and I loved hearing how, even before a trial has been had and a verdict made, I do wonder if this book was written too early.

This book was well-written, broken up nicely, and when things were going well in the trial, I was really engaged. I'm excited to see what happens with Juliana!

This book is great! I love hearing the stories of these kids, it's so inspiring. And I love hearing how they are working to change the climate, it's really cool to hear about other kids like me taking action against real problems. Overall, great book!

this was a interesting concept for a nonfiction book, I hadn't heard about this case before so I was invested in learning about it. Elizabeth Rusch does a great job in creating this world and I'm glad I got to read this. I really enjoyed getting to know the detail of the case.

The Twenty-One is a great book for teens and young adults looking to read more about how the government interacts with young people and the fight against climate change. This book discusses court cases to share how the US government has acted against the environment's best interests.
By including lots of interesting vocabulary and modern-day events, this book is a great educational opportunity to encourage activism and knowledge in young people today as they inherit this world.
