Recenzii

This is the perfect book to inspire action against the climate crisis and to lift your spirits.
William Sutcliffe's latest hilarious read for teens . resists talking down to its readers as it tackles climate change and environmental protests . The questions posed by this smart, entertaining page-turner are the big ones for our age
Hilarious, acutely observed and deeply felt, Sutcliffe's new novel is part biting satire on nimbyism and adult complacency, part impassioned call: take action now, before it's too late.
Warm, funny and very topical.
This tale of rebel climate protestors is an engrossing and relatable emotional rollercoaster, full of drama and vividly written.
This very funny, topical tale is the perfect stage for Sutcliffe's witty and sharply observed dissection of adolescence and the cringe-making behaviour of parents and siblings.
A heartfelt, well-observed, gripping family drama, as well as a call to arms.
Inspiring, funny and warm-hearted comedy. Filled with passion for our planet and the youthful energy of a generation who genuinely want to make a difference, The Summer We Turned Green is an essential read for teenagers and adults alike.
Glorious fun, hugely moving, inspiring and massively entertaining
A fresh and funny social comedy with a big heart
"[The Summer We Turned Green] is funny and moving and the characters are convincing. Older teenagers will enjoy the wry humour and adults will appreciate the social satire on adult relationships
William Sutcliffe, who made us laugh until we wept with The Gifted, the Talented & Me, has applied his gentle humour and acute observations to this generation's battle to save the Earth to hilarious and meaningful effect
Dangerously funny . Sutcliffe is gifted and talented. I hope the prizes flood in
So, so funny and recognisable - I immediately forced it on my 14-year-old
What a wonderful book! It made me chortle, and I never chortle. So, so refreshing and charming and believable. I loved this book
The Gifted, the Talented and Me made me cry with laughter. A comic novel like this is a gift to the nation, and Will Sutcliffe's teenage Sam, struggling to adapt as his family moves to privileged, pretentious Hampstead and enrols him in a progressive London school is the best book he has written for a decade. He, David Nicholls and Joe Dunthorne are part of a tradition that goes back to PG Wodehouse, and which has never been more needed by readers young and old
