A Green Earth Book Award Honor Book

Gracie has big dreams for her family vacation: snorkeling the crystal-clear waters of Roatán, Honduras, exploring vibrant coral reefs, and sharing her passion for the underwater world with everyone she loves. Well, almost everyone. If only her pesky little brother would stop ruining everything.

When an injury threatens to derail her carefully planned adventure, Gracie discovers something even more troubling—the reef she adores is in danger. She’s desperate to help, but what can one kid possibly do? With encouragement from a new friend and a fresh perspective on her brother’s annoying habits, Gracie learns that making a difference starts with small actions and big heart.

Inspired by her own experiences, Linda Sue Park weaves a warm, authentic story about sibling dynamics, environmental stewardship, and the power of turning disappointment into opportunity. Perfect for young readers who care about ocean conservation, this engaging tale celebrates:

  • The wonder of marine ecosystems and snorkeling adventures
  • Finding creative solutions to real-world problems
  • The sometimes-frustrating, always-important bond between siblings
  • How kids can become champions for climate action

A story that will inspire young environmentalists to dive deep and discover the difference they can make—both above and below the waves.
