Meet Justine McKeen, the Queen of Green. She's trying to save the planet, one person at a time, and when she decides to get something done, it's a lot of fun.
When a small bird is injured after flying into a school window, the students are shocked and upset. But they are even more shocked when school bully Jimmy Blatzo rescues the bird and nurses it back to health. Blatzo may have saved one bird, but the problem is much bigger and not confined to the school grounds. Birds are flying into the windows at the town hall too. With the help of Justine, green activist extraordinaire, Blatzo gets the courage he needs to approach town council. Getting over his fear of public speaking will be one challenge. Getting used to his new nickname, Bird Nerd, will be another matter entirely.
The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

As usual at recess, Justine was hanging out at the school flagpole with her friends Michael and Safdar and Jimmy Blatzo.
“Pig pee?” Blatzo asked.
“I know,” Justine said. “Can you believe it? I had carefully explained it was pig urine. And I’m just trying to help the environment and make a little money with door-to-door sales. I guess sometimes you have to put up with stuff like that when you’re the Queen of Green.”
“Pig pee,” Blatzo said. He was frowning as he thought about it.
“Think that’s embarrassing?” Safdar said to Justine. “On Saturday, I was walking through the park with some friends and I had to yawn.”
“What’s so embarrassing about that?” Michael asked.
“I yawned while I was walking through a spider web,” Safdar answered. “And the spider and the fly that it was eating went right into my mouth. Even worse,I accidentally chewed before I could spit it out!
