Exclusive Preview: Maverick Inventor Steve Mushin Tackles Climate Change in ULTRAWILD, a Hilarious and Creative Debut Aimed at Rewilding Cities and Saving the Planet

Posted on by

Inventor Steve Mushin tackles climate change with humor and creativity in ULTRAWILD: An Audacious Plan for Rewilding Every City on Earth. The stunning oversized book is jam-packed with an avalanche of mind-bending and scientifically plausible inventions to rewild cities and save the planet. ULTRAWILD will be published on September 9, 2025 from Graphic Universe, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group.

Jump into the ultrawild brain of inventor Steve Mushin as he designs habitat-printing robot birds and water-filtering sewer submarines, calculates how far compost cannons can blast seed bombs (over half a mile), brainstorms biomaterials with scientists and engineers, studies ecosystems, and develops a deadly serious plan for cities of the future. ULTRAWILD addresses climate change with a sense of humor and a proactive attitude to solving real-world problems, dropping kids into the world of engineering physics, biology, design, and boundless creativity.

To make leaps of innovation we have to explore ideas that initially seem preposterous. Even as we’re bombarded by headlines about the destruction of nature, massive rewilding projects are rebuilding ecosystems faster than most people believe is possible. And I decided to invent whatever it takes to rewild every city on earth.

– Steve Mushin

ULTRAWILD is a tour de force of extreme problem-solving for kids and teens—and anyone else who loves big ideas. This captivating introduction to the underrepresented concept of ‘rewilding’ is an extreme STEM resource stuffed to the brim with inventions, charts, diagrams, maps, and creator Steve Mushin’s big personality. The beautiful, oversized book begs to be displayed in a place of prominence and poured over until all the pages are dogeared. If you’ve got a kid with a big imagination—or are one yourself at heart!—you need this audacious, defiant adventure of a book.

– Sean Tulien, editorial director of Graphic Universe

But when Antoine ventures out with his grandfather to forage for mushrooms, the wrong mushroom leads to a stunning transformation for Antoine. The family’s intergenerational conflict, coupled with the mysterious forces of nature, culminate in a fearsome hunt through the forest that will resolve their differences once and for all — but at what cost?
