Comic Strip Fiction / Graphic Novels
A middle-grade graphic novel that depicts youth activism with irreverence, heart, and attention to a range of environmental issues.
Emma, Lily, and Fadila want to save the planet . . . but no one around them seems to care. Frustrated, they name themselves the Green Girls, take to social media, and launch a series of bold protests. Alongside their classmate and aspiring Green Girl Silas, the crew risks getting in trouble (and stirs some up) to raise awareness about container ship pollution, palm oil overproduction, and more environmental hazards. With a mix of livestreams, spray paint, and bungee cords, they're out to make a difference—and get their followers to do the same.
