COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Read for Environmentally Conscious Teens submitted by sdunav on August 25, 2023, 6:31pm Fun YA story about a "Green Teen" from NJ who spends a summer in rural British Columbia. At first I thought it was a bit shallow and heavy handed, but as the story went on I liked it more and more. A good look at environmentalism, idealism and compromise, and friendship.
