(4) 4-6 Orca Currents series. Though Liza's mother is environmentally conscious, her new boyfriend (dubbed "Slick" by skeptical Liza) works for an oil company that's wreaking havoc on Guatemala--an injustice that enrages the young teen and inspires her to take action. Liza's determination and activism set a powerful example. The story is sometimes didactic, but the topic is relevant and will engage young socially aware readers.
