THE BOOKS
Arctic Meltdown : Defenders of the Planet (Volume 1) Paperback £9.99
Beneath the Arctic ice, the Methanaur is awakening. If this deadly methane monster breaks free, it spells the end of civilization as we know it. Meet Professor Katelyn, Leon, and Mo - also known as The Renegades.
Professor Kateyln is a whip-smart scientist who uses her scientific knowledge to develop spectacles that can catch glimpses of the future. Wrestling with his anger at the naysayers who don't seem to care about the environment, Leon has the ability to become invisible - the perfect spy! And then there's Mo who, in the wake of his brother's death in a cyclone, manages to wield a solar shield strong enough to fight the deadliest of foes. Our superheroes grapple with multiple environmental threats, most deadly of all a monster that lurks beneath the melting Arctic ice.
If it escapes, this creature of chaos will release huge plumes of methane gas into the atmosphere, changing the balance of our planet's climate forever. Can the Renegades work together to save Earth before it is too late?
The Renegades Flames of Amazonia (Volume 2) Paperback £9.99
Back from their adventure in the Arctic, the Renegades are once again called to a climate emergency - flaming monsters threaten to destroy the Amazon rainforest! Katelyn, Mo, and Leon need to use their superpowers to ensure that the world doesn't go up in flames - quite literally! This graphic novel for kids follows the three heroes as they stand face to face with the climate's latest threat. The Renegades: Flames of Amazonia follows on from the popular The Renegades: Arctic Meltdown comic book. Filled with adventure and captivating artwork, this action-adventure series addresses pressing environmental issues and connects ideas such as eating meat, deforestation, and farming.
This climate change book in particular tells the story of the potential worldwide disaster the destruction of the Amazon forest would cause. What's more, it helps teenagers between the age of 12-17 understand modern threats to the ecology and encourages them to be the superheroes of the real world. Who can resist the temptation to go on a world-saving adventure? Together with the three protagonists, fight deadly fire-breathing creatures called Flamejantes and team up with local indigenous activists to stop them.

They've been tracking the movements of their long-time nemesis - businessman-turned-supervillain Jason Greenleaf - and he has a new plot up his sleeve.
But as they race to uncover the meaning behind Jason's new friends The League and the mysterious new serum he is developing, the team must reckon with multiple challenges. Sea levels are rising and strange creatures in the mangrove forests of Bangladesh are at risk of dying out. With so many threats to the Earth mounting, could this all be too much, even for the Renegades?
