PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Poynter, a musician and activist, compiles an emboldening guide for young people looking to lend their efforts to save our "awesome blue planet," beginning with the reduction of single-use plastic. Maintaining a positive outlook and encouraging tone, Poynter outlines the many problems created by plastic consumption, supported by scientific studies, visually mapped statistics, and interviews with leaders of various environmental movements working to combat the repercussions of nonbiodegradable waste. While compelling and comprehensive, the narrative can at times feel a tad long-winded; likewise, the visual design oscillates between well-charted concepts and text-heavy portions. Accented with neon green, the black-and-white features demonstrative spot illustrations and interviewee photographs. While over-the-top in some ways, it offers a wealth of information to glean. Ages 8 12.
