Book One: High Water — Ndidi, fourteen, of Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria, organises a flotilla against the wall that would write her neighborhood out of the city.

Book Three: Bleach — Marco, seventeen, of Cartagena, discovers that being right about coral chemistry is not the same as being heard, and falls in love with a free-diver who can read the sea with her ribs.
Book Four: Greenwash — Lena, sixteen, of Malmö, daughter of an investigative journalist and one half of a slow-burn first love, unravels the polite lie at the heart of Sweden's most-admired energy group.
Book Five: The Last Island — Toa, sixteen, of Falelima on the leeward coast of Savai'i, learns from his grandmother that an island people are not, in the end, an island people because of the island.
Finale: The Gathering — All five Keepers meet, finally, at the United Nations Climate Conference in Belém, to make the world amend one polite clause in one global treaty.
