About this book
When thirteen-year-old Liza's mother begins dating an employee of the powerful Argenta Oil, Liza suspects he's not what he seems and starts investigating the company. She uncovers a long-running lawsuit over unpaid compensation for Guatemalan farmers and decides to take action, forming a school club called GRRR! (Girls for Renewable Resources, Really!) to raise awareness and pressure the corporation. As her protests grow, the line between her personal doubts about her mother's boyfriend and her broader fight for environmental justice blurs, creating tension at home. The story follows Liza's journey to turn private suspicion into public activism while navigating family loyalty.
