About This Book
This engaging chapter book follows seventeen-year-old Jenna, a dedicated vegetarian and environmentalist, as she embarks on a summer adventure in the Canadian wilderness. Her excitement for connecting with nature is soon tempered by the realization that the local, rugged community holds very different views on environmental stewardship and lifestyle. The story explores themes of identity, standing firm in one's convictions, and learning to navigate disagreements with respect. It's an excellent read for young adults grappling with their own values and finding their voice in a world of diverse opinions.
Seventeen-year-old Jenna, an ardent vegetarian and environmentalist, is thrilled to be spending the summer communing with nature in rural Canada, until she discovers that not all of the rugged residents there share her beliefs.
