À propos de cet audio
Twelve-year-old Haven Jacobs can’t stop thinking about the climate crisis. In fact, her anxiety about the state of the planet is starting to interfere with her schoolwork, her friendships, even her sleep. She can’t stop wondering why grownups aren’t even trying to solve the earth’s problem—and if there’s anything meaningful that she, as a seventh grader, can contribute.
When Haven’s social studies teacher urges her to find a specific, manageable way to make a difference to the planet, Haven focuses on the annual science class project at the local Belmont River, where her class will take samples of the water to analyze. Students have been doing the project for years, and her older brother tells her that his favorite part was studying and catching frogs.
But when Haven and her classmates get to the river, there’s no sign of frogs or other wildlife—but there is ample evidence of pollution. The only thing that’s changed by the river is the opening of Gemba, the new factory where Haven’s dad works. It doesn’t take much investigation before Haven is convinced Gemba is behind the slow pollution of the river.
She’s determined to expose Gemba and force them to clean up their act. But when it becomes clear taking action might put her dad’s job—and some friendships—in jeopardy, Haven must decide how far she’s willing to go.
Barbara Dee does it again. In her latest title, the author successfully shines a bright light on how kids feel about the fate of our planet and how deep is their need for adults in their lives, to listen and help them save earth.
A rock star, on the stage of middle school fiction, Ms Dee created an explosively realistic, intelligent and relatable story with a courageous heroine, who wins hearts, and who is surrounded by a compelling group of friends, boys and girls, by competent teachers and well-balanced parents. The full humour, relational intensity, the angst, the logical intransigence, curiosity, the need for social inclusion, the sacrosanct and salutary friendships, within a tender, wondrous, age group: are rewardingly rendered. An informative, robustly funny, visionary and ultimately hopeful tale. A title that deals, uncompromisingly, head on, with the environmental “elephant in the room” that is our present-day climate crisis. A crisis that children are all too aware of, and bravely contemplate, with 20/20 vision.
I waited months for the latest Barbara Dee’s to come out. How can an author write only great books? I reverently own each. Gratefully yours,
A timely masterpiece.
