pippad's review against another edition
4.0
The Laura Marlin series is probably one of the best series out there for young readers who actually want to like reading. The stories are simple, but with enough depth to have some young readers guessing, older readers (myself at almost 40 cough, cough and Dan Jon at almost 11) find themselves almost always knowing where the story is heading from the crumbs of clues earlier in the story.
This story did bring to light the real difference in how people view the destruction of our oceans, opened a dialogue with my son and I AND actually gave some good advice about what to do. I do think that had this been written last year (2018) that there would have been a bit more about using reusable straws etc, but it was a good tale.
