Hope Jones hates cars - they turn the air brown and make everyone sick. Her friend Selma has asthma, and Hope's bogeys are black, not green like they should be! There's an air pollution problem where Hope lives, and she's decided to do something about it. Writing on her blog and protesting outside her school, Hope has decided to clear the air by taking on the cars. But with adults so busy thinking about their busy lives, can one child really make a difference
"Dont miss Hopes adventures, if you want to know whats good for you (and our planet)... Fun to read this is also a book that can change minds and attitudes." -- Julia Eccleshare * LoveReading4Kids, Pick of the Month - July 2021 *
