""This title in the new Climate Crisis series focuses on ecosystems, ""a complex series of interactions between living and nonliving things,"" and the great danger they face as global temperatures rise. ... With an in-depth examination of not only the plight of animals but also plants, coral reefs, and much more, this is an eye-opening look at the scary reality our planet faces. Informative sidebars offer up specific case studies (such as how climate change will affect the lemurs native to Madagascar), and a final chapter discusses what can be done. How can the photos of beautiful animals not ignite a conservation spark in young readers?"" - -Ann Kelley, Booklist
