| Summary: | "A hilarious YA novel about coming of age in the shadow of climate change, overcoming cynicism, and the power of collaboration from the award-winning author of Dragging Mason County. Ever since he was cruelly pranked last semester, high school reporter John O'Neil has gone rogue. Instead of working with his former best friend and co-reporter Rachel Miller on their beat of environmental justice, he has turned his nose for news towards blackmailing those behind his humiliation. But when John learns from the school environmentalists, the Mason Central Bird Watchers, that a local conservation area his grandfather founded is under threat, revenge will have to take a backseat to exposing this scandal. And he will need the bird watchers and possibly Rachel Miller to do it. But gathering information turns out to be more difficult than expected and after forgeries, car chases, and failed hacking attempts, John wonders whether team work is for him after all. Can he and the rest of the crew put aside their egos and grievances to do what's right?"-- |
