Turn the Tide

More about the book

At the heart of this story is twelve-year-old Mimi Laskaris, who channels her passion for environmental activism after being inspired by the Wijsen sisters of Bali. She shifts her focus from classical piano to leading a grassroots movement aimed at banning plastic bags in her Florida community. Presented in accessible verse, the narrative not only highlights the importance of youth activism but also includes extensive back matter for young readers eager to make a difference. A foreword by Melati Wijsen adds further insight into the movement.
