Plastic Plankton - Avis Kalfsbeek
Volcanoes and tropical waterfalls on the Big Island of Hawaii are the dramatic, stunning backdrop as Tilly trains for the Kona Ironman for an environmental cause. Concerned about plastic pollution, her estranged brother, Moore, and his quirky, stoner hip hop-loving best friend, Spit, set sail to the plastic scoop-up machine at the Great Plastic Garbage Patch off the coast of Hawaii. Beverage giant SodaCo has falsified the machine's results, and it takes a spunky insider, an old French sailor, the Sandglass bike-surfer guys, a large lovable Hawaiian, and a pug named Plastic to slow the tsunami of ocean garbage.
Plastic Plankton is Book 2 of the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series, a read-in-an-afternoon novella-length outdoor climate fiction adventure, filled with lovable, quirky characters in a candy wrapper of laughter, irreverence, kisses, friendship, satire, athleticism, love, and magnificent scenic beauty.
"In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with. One wants to be part of this healthy gang; it is easy to fall in love with one or two of them. She has found an avenue to address these critical issues that must be talked about but without a heavy hammer. A delightful read that will fill you with hope and a forgotten bounce in your step, or pedal."
-Chris White, author of Wind, Waves and a Suicidal Boat
