"Clever...beguiling....Readers age 11 and older are likely to
finish this book feeling both persuaded and uplifted. Beauty has a
way of doing that." -Wall Street Journal For young readers comes an
imaginative guide to ocean plastics, filled with tips and tricks
for identifying-and combating-pollution in our oceans. Inspired by
biologist AnaPego's life's work, and filled with engaging science
and colorful photographs, this foundational look at plastic
pollution in the ocean explains why it is such an urgent
contemporary issue. When she was young, Ana Pego didn't play in a
backyard, but on a beach. She walked along the shore, looked at
tide pools, and collected fossils. As she grew older, Pego noticed
a new species at the seaside: plastic. She decided to collect it,
study it, and give it a Latin name-Plasticus maritimus-to warn
people of its dangers to our planet. Pego tells us how plastics end
up in our rivers, lakes, and oceans, shares plastic's chemical
composition and physical properties, and offers a field guide to
help readers identify and understand this new invasive species in
all its forms, from the obvious (fishing nets and water bottles) to
the unfamiliar (tiny, clear particles called microplastics).
Finally, she offers a critical look at our current "solutions" to
plastic contamination and in her most important
proposal-REVOLUTIONIZE-calls for deep changes in our habits,
motivating young and old alike to make a difference, together. An
artificial and almost indestructible species, Plasticus maritimus
deserves to have its days numbered! Together, we can send it
packing. "A cleverly conceived and comprehensive introduction to a
serious issue."- Kirkus Reviews Honorable Mention-Bologna Ragazzi
Award. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.
