Hott Synopsis

Bella and Brit

One Pelican at a Time
BNAmazonGRPubAuthor

love their life living on the gulf so when the first waves of oil wash up onto the shore they spring into action to save the land that they love.

However, the girls are told in to uncertain terms that ‘the adults’ must deal with the oil spill – it’s just no place for children. So the girls watch and wait to see a way to help… until one day they see their favorite old pelican leave his post and swoop down through the oil slick and into the ocean. Oh, no! The girls must save him!

Hott Review

This is a terrific book – even for the non-environmentalist! It’s a sweet reminder that protecting and cleaning up the environment is an issue for everyone to consider because eventually it will effect us all.

The book states that it is geared towards 7-12 year olds but I really think that it’s more of a book for children from 4-9. It’s something the older children in that bracket can read themselves and the younger will enjoy. My older children listened but it wasn’t something that they would have picked up or finished if I hadn’t been reading it to Zany.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

    This is a terrific book for kids to enjoy reading, as well as learn about the Gulf oil spill and the damage it did to sea birds. Nancy is a wonderful writer.
