Sierra, Judy. Ballyhoo Bay
This is one of those Scholastic order books. You know the ones where you have a few bucks or points to spend and you do exactly what you tell your kids not to do? Go through the catalog and pick out all the books that you love the covers of. Yeah, I do that.
Luckily for me, this turned out to be a good "judged the book by its cover" situation. This fun read sends a message of caring for our environment and enjoying the things that nature has to offer. It also teaches that we should stand up for what we believe in and do what we know is right.
When Ballyhoo Bay is going to be destroyed in order for an apartment complex to be built, Mira Bella, the art teacher, and all her people and animal friends go to bat to save the bay. The results they achieve are both surprising and inspiring!
