      Your Planet Needs You! - Dave Reay

      FOURTEEN

      In the far distance is another town and, as the sun begins to rise, Maximus heads on over.

      ‘It certainly feels pretty warm here. Switch to heat vision. Now I can see the heat escaping from all the houses . . . Hang on, what’s that?’

      Tucked in among the rows and rows of glowing houses there is one that doesn’t glow at all.

      The non-glowing house in question is number 24 Acacia Drive, home of Henry Hutchinson. It’s Sunday morning and Henry is lying on his bed reading a comic. It’s a really good comic and the massed armies of Grumph the Great are just getting ready to charge towards the castle walls of Hugrawn the Horrid.

      Out of the corner of his eye Henry sees a shadow pass his window. Now, it could have been his imagination, but he’s sure he saw a person out there. This is weird because his bedroom window is five metres above the ground.

      Carefully, Henry tiptoes to the window and with a quick tug pulls the curtain back. Hovering outside, and looking rather embarrassed, is Maximus.

      Faster than a speeding bullet Maximus hides behind the nearest lamp post.

      At Climate Club, Henry introduces Max to his best friend, Flora, who is busy making a poster.

      ‘Max, this is Flora. She knows loads about climate change.’

      ‘Hi, Max,’ says Flora, looking up from her poster. ‘I like your tights. So, do you want to be a climate champion too? We can always use more help.’

      ‘Er . . . yes, I think so. But I don’t know much about it.’

      ‘Don’t worry. Miss Weatherbottom is really good and I can tell you loads of stuff as well if you like.’

      Henry points at a grumpy-looking boy standing in the corner picking his nose.

      ‘That’s Gripper Jenkins. He’s only here because he’s on detention.’

      They stop chatting as Miss Weatherbottom sweeps into the room.

      ‘Hello, Climate Clubbers!’ she says. ‘I see there are some new faces here today. Now, I recognize Gripper – do stop picking your nose, Gripper.’ She turns to Max, who has squeezed into a chair that is far too small for his
