An honest and stirring novel about the choices made by young environmental activists that Booklist calls \"a compelling call to action and a crucial reminder that, while doing what is right is not always easy, it is always worthwhile.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalia has had a privileged upbringing in Indonesia, but since her Indonesian father died, her Canadian mother wants to return to her own family on the other side of the world. Malia is determined to stay. Indonesia is her home, and she loves it. Besides, if she leaves, how can she continue to fight for her country's precious rainforests?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAri knows he is lucky to be going to school and competing on the chess team, even if it means an endless round of chores at his uncle's restaurant. Back in his home village, he and his cousin Suni dreamed about getting a chance like this. But now he is here without her, and the guilt is crushing him. As if that weren't enough, he's horribly worried about Ginger Juice, his uncle's orangutan. The too-small cage where she lives is clearly hurting her body and her mind, but where else can she go? The rainforest where she was born is a palm oil plantation now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Berani, Governor General's Award finalist Michelle Kadarusman spins together three perspectives: Malia, who is prepared to risk anything for her activism, Ari, who knows the right path but fears what it will cost, and Ginger Juice, the caged orangutan who still remembers the forest and her mother. The choices the young people make will have consequences for themselves, for Ginger Juice, and for others, if they are brave enough—or reckless enough—to choose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This moving middle grade novel will keep kids interested. Readers will be putting the pieces of the plot together as they turn each compelling page. A perfect choice to give to reluctant readers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 260g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203 x 147 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781772782936\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MichelleKadarusman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44964075995386,"sku":"9781772782936","price":7.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1704452626643_book.jpg?v=1704527630","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/berani-9781772782936","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
