Popping in quickly to draw your attention to this middle-grade eco-adventure book from Tanni Haas.
Here are the book details for you:
Blurb: Imagine a world flooded with water. Most people are forced to work hard to survive while a powerful few enjoy lives of leisure and luxury on a mysterious, man-made island. It's up to Spider and his newfound friend Ruby to change the fate of the AquaGrowers and HouseBoaters. But first they have to rescue Spider's twin brother, Luke, who's been imprisoned for attempting to organize an uprising against the powers that be.
Join the young heroes as they face down the ruthless Marauders and the all-powerful Chosen on their mission to unite humankind. The story invites readers to engage with an urgent question: What can happen to our planet if we don't take proper care of it? With Spider and Ruby leading the way, readers explore the importance of friendship and discovering one's true potential, the pitfalls of sibling rivalry, and, above all else, standing up for what's right in the face of overwhelming odds - and that includes complacent adults.
Sounds intriguing, and maybe like an ideal stocking filler for the 9-12 year old in your life?!
