The Renegades, defenders of the planet

"Meet Professor Katelyn, Leon, and Mo--also known as The Renegades. Professor Kateyln is a whip-smart scientist who uses her scientific knowledge to develop spectacles that can catch glimpses of the future. Wrestling with his anger at the naysayers who don't seem to care about the environment, Leon has the ability to become invisible--the perfect spy! And then there's Mo who, in the wake of his brother's death in a cyclone, manages to wield a solar shield strong enough to fight the deadliest of foes. Our superheroes grapple with multiple environmental threats, most deadly of all a monster that lurks beneath the melting Arctic ice. If it escapes, this creature of chaos will release huge plumes of methane gas into the atmosphere, changing the balance of our planet's climate forever. Can the Renegades work together to save Earth before it is too late?"--Provided by publisher.
