Earth will be inherited by our children and grandchildren. So they should help make it survive and thrive. More kiddie books should tackle this timely issue of protecting the planet. The sleuthing adventure makes this book fun too.

"Dee Jay managed a grin, “I'm okay, but my hair's a mess.” Meru sat up and smiled. Einstein pulled out a pocketknife and cut Meru’s ropes." Kids from different layers of lives join in an adventure to save the world from the upcoming hazards. When the adults fail the younger ones pull the chariot of progress. "Kids Can Change The World" by Ben Goldstein is really a worth reading in this respect.

"Kids Can Change The World" embarks on an adventurous tale featuring six kids: Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom, who find themselves engaged in an environmental mission. The beach is strewn with garbage, posing a threat to marine life. As the children investigate, they uncover a list of suspects, including Boss Mackan, Derek, Baldy, and Mohawk. Someone is illicitly disposing of waste in the ocean, and the children are determined to uncover the motives behind it.

Amidst this environmental quest, the group wins a contest, which leads to an exciting tour of Tsavo National Park in Nairobi, Kenya. Tsavo National Park promises thrilling encounters with lions, leopards, and elephants. However, their expedition encounters a twist. Readers are invited to delve further to discover the outcome!

The addition of Thoreau's character adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story. Being the youngest in the group, he grapples with nightmares involving a monstrous garbage entity chasing him, and he exhibits a natural wariness of the unknown, particularly in the nocturnal hours.

One of the highlights of the story is its rich diversity, not only in the narrative but also in its characters. The group includes Zoom, who is African American, and Einstein, who is Asian American. Additionally, the incorporation of different languages and dialects serves as an encouragement for young readers to explore new languages.

The episode set in Tsavo National Park stands out as the most exhilarating part of the story. Here, the kids cross paths with Bertha, a formidable elephant who fiercely defends her kind against heartless poachers. This part of the story conveys a powerful message against poaching and its detrimental impact on wildlife.

The character of Boss Mackan represents the epitome of greed, prioritizing money at the expense of both people and marine life. He doesn't hesitate to compromise on quality to save costs. Despite their youth, Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom demonstrate remarkable courage, risking their lives to unveil the truth behind the illegal garbage dumping.

I would gladly award "Kids Can Change The World" by Ben Goldstein a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. The book presents a compelling narrative without notable flaws, and it is meticulously edited. I recommend it to young readers interested in stories that champion environmental awareness and investigative adventures.

Thoreau's character, with his nightmares and natural wariness, adds an intriguing layer to the story, making it even more enticing. The diversity of the characters, their backgrounds, and the inclusion of different dialects is a commendable aspect, encouraging young readers to embrace and celebrate diversity.

Kids being concerned about garbage being dumped, is a good theme to inspire youngsters to cate about their environment. Winning a competition and going to Kenya will also be interesting to read about. Thank you for the great review.
