Running For Planet Earth - Paperback

by Jon-Patric Nelson (Author)

Walker was born to run.

The irony? The fate of the entire planet depends on it.

Sixteen-year-old Walker lives in a world where climate change has reached a breaking point. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and environmental disasters threaten life as we know it. But Earth has one last chance for survival: a monthly race where a single runner represents the planet.

Every time Walker crosses the finish line in first place, Earth's temperature drops by one degree Fahrenheit.

Every time he loses, the planet gets hotter.

No pressure, right?

As the chosen representative of Planet Earth, Walker carries the hopes of billions on his shoulders. The world celebrates his victories and demands his success, but few people stop to ask how he's doing. Behind the headlines and expectations is a teenager struggling with his own pain, trauma, and fears.

While Walker races to save the world, he discovers a difficult truth: he may need saving too.

Filled with action, heart, and a timely message about climate change, resilience, and the weight of responsibility, Running for Planet Earth is an unforgettable young adult novel that explores what happens when one young person is asked to carry the future of an entire planet.

Can Walker save Earth before the clock runs out-or will the pressure destroy him first?
