About Green Libraries Week: Climate Fiction with Richard Lambert

Author Richard Lambert will explores themes of climate change, nature and disinformation in YA fiction with this masterclass marking Green Libraries Week.

The acclaimed author will explore concepts of regenerating nature, the importance of research and handling themes of mis and disinformation in fiction. This event is for students in year 9 – 11.

From the author:

'My writing has a green focus. My first novel, The Wolf Road, was aimed at a YA audience and has a contemporary setting. It is about a teenage boy’s relationship with a wild wolf and with the mountains of Cumbria. It was described by the Irish Times as "a love letter to nature". My second and third novels are a crossover between middle grade and YA, and are portal fantasy adventures set between our contemporary world and a fantasy world. They are adventures but have serious themes. Shadow Town is about climate change (in the fantasy world, due to the greed, exploitation and ambition of the ruler of that kingdom, there is a complete climate breakdown).'

This is part of the schools Green Libraries Week programme.
