(3) YA New Jersey–bred environmentalist Jenna spends the summer in the "wild, rugged wilderness" of Canada, where she has trouble fitting in with the local teenagers, who mock her preachy ideals. Exploring nature and listening to her new friends, Jenna learns to appreciate the environment from a new vantage point. A scenic backdrop, a strong cast of secondary players, and believable character development sustain the novel's momentum.
