Hope Jones Will Not Eat Meat

'Hope Jones will not eat meat' by Josh Lacey. An extremely influential book. The story is about striving for change and being the one to take the step. Hope Jones was an lovable, strong protagonist. Her passion for the environment was really inspiring. The story was about Hope learning about how meat was destroying our planet and taking the course of veganism. The book was informational and inspiring but through a gripping story that I devoured. This is the kind of book the middle grade market needs. It has a massive impact on the reader and inspires them to make a change The writing style was simple but powerful. As a fellow environmetalist I would gladly recommend this to my peers and siblings.

The second book in the Hope Jones series finds Hope tackling the thorny issue of food as it relates to climate change. As with the first book that looked at everyday use of plastic, this considers all the ways meat consumption adds to climate change leading Hope to make a lifestyle change. However, there is always more to an issue and through Hope the reader learns about a wide range of options and factors around eating meat, being vegetarian or vegan in a fun and non-judgemental way. I really like how this series looks at these issues and how everyone can make a difference through even minor changes. They're also nice stories with a host of lovely characters.
