Real childhood story common to all most of the kids. This book is good for kids between 4 -12 years to increase their thinking and interactive capacities with others because it is understandable it can bring together many kids attentively to listen to someone telling stories like this hence increase their relationship. Some of those stories encourage innovation in young people to develop the spirit of environmental protection.

Love the review, not only does it peak my sense of adventure and a lesson in morality, but it does not give too much of the plot away. This may be a children's book, and I definitely recommend them to read it, however adults can learn from this book too. In essence, greed for money and power, coupled with land pollution, only leads to the destruction of themselves and our beautiful countries.

📚 'Kids Can Change The World' by Ben Goldstein takes young readers on an eco-adventure! Loved the diversity of the characters and the mix of mystery with important environmental messages. Thoreau's charm and the thrilling escapade in Tsavo National Park were highlights! Congratulations on being BOTD!

Latest Review: Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul

Post by Rahul Singh 29 »

The book seems to be environmental and investigative story. This plot involves children investigating illegal waste dumping on the beach, which poses a threat to marine life. Demonstrate environmental awareness.
This book is suitable for readers who like lots of characters and content related to environment protection and detective work.
Life is a play where we are the actors and the audience, We laugh and cry, love and hate, create and destroy,
We seek to know ourselves and others, to belong and to be free, We accept what we can and change what we must.

Nice review! Honestly, the first thing that came to mind viewing this book is Captain Planet; having a diverse group of kids, environmental/social justice themes, it more or less checks out LOL. It’s nice to see material like this where kids can not only begin learning about these topics, but possibly take genuine interest in them as well. You just never know where a spark may be lit.

Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom are in for some investigative work. Garbage is littered all over the beach, threatening marine life. As the kids follow up, there are a few suspects: Boss Mackan, Derek, Baldy, and Mohawk, among others. Someone is being paid to dump in the ocean, and there must be a reason!

Meanwhile, Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom win a contest and are taken for a tour of Tsavo National Park in Nairobi, Kenya. Tsavo National Park is thrilling, and the kids can’t wait to view the lions, leopards, and elephants. However, there’s a hiccup in Tsavo. Discover what happens by reading more!

Thoreau made the tale even more irresistible. He was the youngest in the group and experienced nightmares about a monster in garbage form charging after him. Furthermore, he was skeptical about creeping out in the middle of the night. His nature made him wary of any slight sound or thing. I enjoyed that.

I cherished the diversity of the story, more so the characters. Zoom is African American, while Einstein is Asian American. Moreover, there are different dialects included that will encourage kids to learn new languages.

The Tsavo National Park escapade was the most thrilling of all. The kids encounter a no-nonsense elephant named Bertha, who deals with some poachers mercilessly. The elephant was done observing her kind being ripped off of their precious tusks by greedy and malicious poachers.

Boss Mackan was gluttonous, and money was the sole thing he was after, even if he got it at the expense of the people and marine life around him. He was willing to use substandard materials to cut down on costs. Despite being kids, Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom were willing to risk their lives to get to the core of the garbage dumping illegalities.

I rate Kids Can Change The World by Ben Goldstein 4 out of 4 stars. I detected nothing to dislike. Therefore, the book is professionally edited. I recommend it to children interested in novellas advocating for environmental awareness and detective work.

Your review was very entertaining. I hate it when people or companies dump their garbage and ruin the ocean and the beaches. Not to mention what it does to our marine life. It senseless!

I do believe the title of this book rings very true. Our children are the ones that will bring about the change. And this type of book is exactly what will breach the gap and expose them to some of the environmental issues Earth faces. I would think the mystery element is also very enticing for the youth. Truly sounds like a lovely book I hope it’ll spark a passion to create a different future for our planet.
