Review | Consider the Octopus

When Jeremy “JB” Barnes is tasked by his research scientist mom and her teammates aboard a research ship to invite a group of scientists aboard their ship for publicity, he makes a huge mistake. Instead of inviting THE Dr. Sidney Miller, he ends up sending an invite to 12-year-old Sidney Miller who’s looking for an engaging, STEM-related science activity for the summer. When he realizes his mistake, he has to conceal Sidney aboard the ship even as they collaborate to help find more publicity for the research work on the Pacific Garbage Patch.

Graphic Novel Review | The Aquanaut

The Aquanaut is Dan Santat’s latest graphic novel. Sophia has been hanging out in Aqualand, the marine theme park her late father and uncle started. Her uncle is doing his best to finish Sophia’s late father’s marine project and Sophia seems to have little or no zest for school work. Imagine her shock when a diving suit controlled by sea creatures appears in Aqualand.

Review | Rescue at Lake Wild

Madi and her friends Jack and Aaron make a rescue at Lake Wild, saving two beaver kits, but they have a problem. Madi’s parents have said she cannot bring home any more strays. In fact, if she does, she’ll lose her trip to see acclaimed primatologist Jane Goodall. But neither Aaron nor Jack can take in the kits and their local shelter is full. Besides, the kids find that the kits’ parents have been shot dead. Madi takes them, hiding them in a shed on her parents’ property until she can figure out her next steps.

27 Middle Grade Books About the Environment & Environmental Activism (+ Printable)

Our beautiful home has dealt with more than its fair share of abuse and that’s why I love so many of the books on the list of the best middle grade books about the environment. In these picks, you’ll find kids (and sometimes animals) trying to do their fair share to love the earth, appreciate it, and advocate for it — all the while dealing with their own changing friends, families, and inner worlds. If you’re looking for books that tackle issues like climate change, animal extinction, and damage to marine life, amongst other environmental issues, then this is the list for you.
