Wonderful coverage of the BP oil spill and the effects on the wildlife, environment, and people who make their living from the ocean. The book also covers the actions taken by BP to stop the oil spill and the containment measures taken by the company to lessen the environmental impact of the spill.
Elain Landau always does a wonderful job with nonfiction and she has done it again. She infused the text with the feel of urgency as the story built to the hoped for capping of the leaking well and she still doesn't let the reader go until the last page. Every aspect of the spill was covered in a text devoid of vocabulary most middle school students wouldn't understand. The photographs are fantastic and seemed to urge the reader forward through the book with the same sense of urgency.
