The Change Agents: Whispers in the Wind
Nature cries for help as the climate changes.
Will you heed its whispers in the wind?
Eliza fears for her sanity after being invited to join a life-or-death climate mission by an extraordinary collection of characters. Fearful and struggling with how she can juggle their mission with her demanding job as a local TV reporter, she accepts the challenge and begins an epic adventure.
Collaborating with these beings, including her previous canine companion, Bebop, to engage people more deeply in the climate fight, Eliza and her new-found friends form an unprecedented partnership uniting humans and nature in the desperate race to save their shared world from a changing climate.
There may not be a more important topic than how we turn back the tide of climate change and the effects it has on us and all the creatures on our planet. In The Change Whispers in The Wind, Sarah E. Lewis brings us on a fun journey with a cast of unlikely characters who are doing just that. Most books on the topic focus on explaining climate change and what it means to us. Sarah’s work goes far beyond this, engaging and inspiring us to become Change Agents ourselves. If you love animals or the environment, enjoy reading great fiction, and want to help fight climate change, this book is for you.

Sarah Lewis has written more than a call to action to address the challenges of climate change. She has written a guide filled with moving exhortations. And while adults will enjoy reading The Change Whispers in the Wind, so too will young readers or both together, as we are all in this together, for that’s part of the we all must act together as we are all in this together. This book has a dream-like quality as it unites all living creatures similarly at risk by climate change working in harmony for the good and preservation of nature upon which we all depend. Lose yourself in Sarah’s world but take to heart her important message. Read, and act, now!

I've never read anything that falls into the category Climate Fiction before, but I am glad I started with this one. It's a really great read. There's grief...for loved ones lost (and found), relationships changed, and an earth that is suffering. That grief is matched with hope and redemption. There is whimsy matched with practicality. Fantasy with reality. Simple solutions to complex problems. I highly recommend!

Super read! The authors love of animals and the earth are found on every page. The reader is forced to consider the the effects of damaging the climate especially on those without voices. Powerful. Fun. Creative. Authentic!

I really loved the characters in the book, both human and animals alike. I had fun imagining how they looked and sounded, and the fun way with which Sarah Lewis brings us on the journey.

Legal reporter Eliza is stunned when she finds a bug and two spiders talking to her and asking for her help with a cause. The puzzled and yet intrigued Eliza at the Mausoleum door follows the creatures through the crypt to NoHoSap, a safe place for living animals, away from humans and their exploration. As the surprises and shocks unfold for Eliza in NoHoSap, she learns of her role in a great cause – climate change. Will the Change Agents of NoHoSap be able to influence the world with the help of their human friends? Or penetrate the skeptical human conscience indifferent to the world’s real issues prowling the Earth?
In this unique urban fantasy novel, author Sarah E. Lewis honors her canine Bebop and inspires people to save the Earth from climate change. Bebop plays a significant role in the story as he is not only Eliza’s faithful companion but also a guide for NoHoSap, a change agent dedicated to making the Earth a flourishing home for all creatures. This intriguing story also satirizes the whole human race using several discourses and interactions among animal species. The story features a scene where animals protect and help rescue humans in a flood. It comes off as a silent mockery upon humans encroaching on animals’ natural habitat.
The Change Agents presents a critical topic wrapped in fantasy fiction, in which animals have taken over the role of humans. Readers will appreciate the comical representation of technology-driven animals in the story, such as BG (Billy Goat) rapping and mixing crazy tracks amid the dancing animals. Having the animal participate in such a serious social issue as climate change adds fun and makes the book ideal for older elementary children. The chapters were reasonable lengths and easy to break out for discussion topics.
The author wisely enlists the state of every habitat due to weather fluctuations by including the species that live there in The Alliance members of NoHoSap, who help explain to readers the ravaging change in the ecosystem. With subtle satire, the book invites readers to become Change Agents by adopting lifestyles that improve nature.
The Change Agents is a valuable book for parents and educators to teach children a valuable lesson on climate change while entertaining them with amusing creatures.
