WAYNE — Brian Adams will read from his latest book “KABOOM!” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, at Cary Memorial Library, 17 Old Winthrop Road.

Adams is the author of “Love in the Time of Climate Change,” Foreword Reviews’ 2014 IndieFAB Gold Medal winner for humor.

“KABOOM!” is the candidly comical and dynamic story of Cyndie and Ashley, two spirited teens from coal country West Virginia who become activists overnight when their beloved mountain is threatened by Big Coal. This novel tracks the girls’ experience as they start their own club, Kids Against Blowing Off Our Mountaintops, as they explore the power of grassroots activism and as they both begin to fall in love for the first time.

The book utilizes humorous narration and lively dialogue of impassioned characters to make serious environmental issues more accessible for adolescents.

“KABOOM!” recently received the Literary Classics Gold Medal for the best Young Adult book on environmental issues for 2016, and has been named as one of a half dozen summer 2016 Young Adult must reads by Forward magazine.
