Lydia has had a passion for climate issues for as long as she can remember.

After a fall at school, her well-meaning friends and family are against her getting out on the streets to protest, but Lydia is determined to challenge the ableism she sometimes encounters while she promotes climate action, no matter the risks.

Love on Planet A explores friendship, first love, and fighting for change. With its authentic representation of disability, a strong-willed protagonist, and a socially conscious narrative, this novel is perfect for teens who are passionate about activism and making their voices heard. This is a great selection for libraries, schools, and bookstores looking to expand their collection of engaging, inclusive fiction.
