I'm not sure what to make of this book or how to rate it.
The writing felt extremely juvenile, but the subject matter was very mature. The story was jarringly violent at times. In fact, considering the intended audience, I would even say it had some gruesome moments.
A lot of the story was definitely commentary on climate and industry. I don't mind commentary in middle grade at all. In fact, I think it's best to introduce young readers to commentary as early as possible. That being said, the book felt preachy at times, but perhaps, that would read differently as a middle grader.
All this to say, I didn't really enjoy it, but I had no major issues with it. 🤷🏼♀️
