Here we go: This series is an allegory about the effect global warming is having not only on the planet, but on other dimensions within it. Lookout!, the series says, or you'll disturb the shadow monsters, that hate heat, and they'll getcha. The kids have a "party", odd isn't it? Unless you consider "club" is too exclusive a word. They are aligned in their "heroic" roles, and have "true sight". They're a perfect blend of Black, Jewish, soft White Boys, and one tough Tomgirl from a broken, angry white family. "Friends Don't Lie to Each Other" is their mantra.
