Reviews
“The issues of development and declining habitats, and the importance of protecting “these last wild places” are made both real and exciting for middle-grade readers.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“This is a good, gentle read for boys and girls alike.” ―Booklist
“An empowering story of friendship and kids who step up to make a difference…. While readers of Jordan’s first two stories will enjoy meeting up with familiar characters, the novel easily stands alone.” ―School Library Journal
“The book offers some excellent food for thought about each student’s role in the environmental changes that are taking place in our world.” ―Library Media Connection
