“I have been classified as part of Generation Z. There are no letters after Z. Meaning we have a choice: to be an ending, or the people who do things differently.” It’s 2019. Examination is at an all-time high. Mental health problems are an epidemic. Students everywhere are striking school for the climate. Matt is a normal teenager. He likes writing poetry. He likes his friend Aidan. He likes this girl called Amy but is too afraid to ask her out. But sometimes being afraid isn’t an option. Sometimes you’ve got no choice but to help a friend, to take a risk, to make a stand. Join Matt as he navigates the existential threat of climate change as well as the daily pressures of being a teenager.
