Quick Summary
If you know a kid who's into environmental topics or just loves stories about best friends working together, this one's for them. Gina Bellisario tells the story of Ellie, who gets super excited about her Earth Day team project until she and her best friend Hannah realize they have totally different ideas about how to save the planet. The fun really kicks in when their clashing approaches lead to some hilarious mix-ups and messes around school.
