Description

Hope Jones hates cars - they turn the air brown and make everyone sick. Her friend Selma has asthma, and Hope's bogeys are black, not green like they should be! There's an air pollution problem where Hope lives, and she's decided to do something about it. Writing on her blog and protesting outside her school, Hope has decided to clear the air by taking on the cars. But with adults so busy thinking about their busy lives, can one child really make a difference?

I am really loving this series. Hope is such a great character, passionate, occasionally intense and very determined. I like how as soon as she becomes aware of a particular environmental issue, in this case pollution, she throws herself 100% into tackling it. Her frequently uncompromising stance does cause moments of friction with family and other people she meets, but she does learn to work with people and take on board their arguments. This ultimately means she manages to get more people to help and make the changes they can which is the real message in this series, do what you can.

Great little middle grade book. A good learning experience for children while reading the Hope Jones series tackles some important issues the world is dealing with today. Loved the illustrations and the blog format. Going to get my 11 year old to read the series next.
