Caretaker Trilogy

YA
Caretaker Trilogy series.
In this final installment of the trilogy, time-traveling Jack saves the future from global warming--and magical mutants--once again; maybe this time it will stick. Plentiful action and amped-up teen angst keep the pages turning, but the fantasy elements and holes in the time-travel logic undermine Klass's own (vociferously stated) message about the dangers of climate change.

YA
Caretaker Trilogy series.
Jack is plunged into unwanted adventure after learning that he is a prince from the future, a prophesied "beacon of hope" who will save the planet from ecological ruin. Despite stereotypically bombshell female characters and distractingly fragmented prose, the heady mix of high-impact action, breakneck chase scenes, thoughtful environmentalism, and life-or-death trust issues builds to a startling conclusion.
