Description

Emma, Lily, and Fadila want to save the planet . . . but no one around them seems to care.

Frustrated, they name themselves the Green Girls, take to social media, and launch a series of bold protests. Alongside their classmate and aspiring Green Girl Silas, the crew risks getting in trouble (and stirs some up) to raise awareness about container ship pollution, palm oil overproduction, and more environmental hazards. With a mix of livestreams, spray paint, and bungee cords, they're out to make a difference--and get their followers to do the same.

For readers looking for stories ripped from the headlines or anyone who cares about saving the Earth."--School Library Journal

"Readers will be drawn in by bright, approachable illustrations and stay for the determination of these young eco-warriors."--Kirkus Reviews
