Description
Marty is desperate for friends, having left his behind when he moved into 10 Downing Street with his mum.
Bored and lonely, his life suddenly becomes a lot more exciting when he sneaks out of a secret passage and meets Jumi, a young eco protester. He agrees to help her in her fight to stop a new airport from destroying an ancient woodland.
But being an eco warrior isn’t as easy as he thinks.
Featuring a mum who just happens to be the Prime Minister, a very nosy sister, a gorilla-wrestling security guard and the creepiest politician in the world, Eco Worrier sees a bored and lonely boy take on a sinister plot and his own fears in this hilarious book from debut novelist Ian Slatter.
Eco Worrier is the perfect read for children who love an adventure story with twists and turns and plenty of laughs along the way.

I would like to thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC of this book and giving me an opportunity to read and review all of the available books in your publishing house in exchange for an honest review.
I actually hesitated reading it because I read too much books in the past weeks and I might be unable to appreciate it. I guess it's the right decision to read it because it's a really good book. I almost forgot that it's classified as a children's fiction because it tackles politics. It had a realistic approach which everyone can relate to. I also find the illustrations cute. I highly recommend it for older kids and young adults.

Okay this was adorable! And super fun! Marty is the 12-year-old son of the British Prime Minister and he's bored of politics, and bored of living under lockdown in Downing St when he used to be able to go out and play with his mates at his old school - hah, his frustration at not being allowed out is VERY appropriate right now!! Anyway, adventures ensue when he learns of a secret passage that leads out of the house and right into a tube station... he then gets himself mixed up in an Eco Now protest, and becomes interested in one of the matters that parliament is debating... but will his mum listen?!

This is a great story about how the prime minister's son accidently meets up with an eco warrior and tries to save the planet for her. Overall a great book which highlights to children how important it is to try and stand up for the planet and to try and save it.

This was a great book that my son read in one day. the story captured his imagination while teaching him about the environment and politics. Two topics that he has great interest in. The book was well written, witty and funny. Excellent opportunity for character development for future books if the author chose to take it that direction.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
