It's Earth Day! Yes, of course you should be spending the day outside picking up trash and planting trees and loving Earth, but you can still spend the evening relaxing with one of these environmentally friendly reads:
Hoot by Carl Hiaasen: Roy, who is new to his small Florida community, becomes involved in another boy's attempt to save a colony of burrowing owls from a proposed construction site. This book is funny and full of mischief, two of my favorite things!
The Carbon Diaries 2015 by Saci Lloyd: In 2015, when England becomes the first nation to introduce carbon dioxide rationing in a drastic bid to combat climate change, sixteen-year-old Laura documents the first year of rationing as her family spirals out of control.

Wolves, boys, and other things that might kill me by Kristen Chandler: Two teenagers become close as the citizens of their town fight over the packs of wolves that have been reintroduced into the nearby Yellowstone National Park.
