On the Big Island of Hawaii, volcanoes simmer and waterfalls thunder as Tilly trains for the grueling Kona Ironman-not for glory, but to raise awareness about plastic pollution. Across the sea, her estranged brother Moore and his best friend Spit (a hip hop-obsessed stoner with a good heart and questionable sea legs) sail toward the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to check out a high-tech plastic cleanup device. But something smells fishier than the ocean air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe machine's success is a lie, rigged by soda giant SodaCo-and it's going to take more than good intentions to expose the truth. Enter: a rebel insider with a conscience, an old French sailor with salt in his veins, the freewheeling Sandglass bike-surf crew, a gentle Hawaiian giant, and a tiny pug named Plastic who's ready to save the planet-one bark at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Plankton is the second novella in the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series: a fast, funny, irreverent cli-fi adventure full of friendship, satire, epic landscapes, and a reminder that it takes all kinds of heroes (even the four-legged ones) to clean up a very human mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with.

In Plastic Plankton, Avis sails into the murky waters of ocean plastic, corporate greenwashing, and sibling misadventures, weaving a story that's equal parts tropical escapade and environmental call to action. From Ironman training on the Big Island to pug-powered heroism on the high seas, her storytelling celebrates friendship, resilience, and the idea that saving the planet doesn't have to look perfect-it just has to start somewhere. She lives with her own water dog, Teo Panadero Pescadero, exploring the coastal trails, backroads, and beaches where nature, activism, and storytelling come together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52544380666163,"sku":"9781735561349","price":21.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/4Ew4WbHpTR9781735561349.webp?v=1783888348","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/plastic-plankton-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
