My Review:
The central theme of trying to arrest Global Warming will attract many to this book. Personally, the title caught my eye. When I was a youth, I used to hike at Bon Echo in the summer. Always remained a special place to me and suddenly, BAM here's a book titled Bon Echo...
The world-building here is incredible. The author has taken the necessary steps to set the groundwork for a skyscraper of a book series. As you read this book you will get to know Maven and her oft annoying bro. You will get to know their groups of close friends. You will have a hoot meeting Hoot, too.
The creative thought that went into the storyline is impressive. Centered on the need to do something to stop the Climate Crisis, this book nails that issue. Such a well-defined and clearly strident approach, it is lovely to read. I would surmise even those not accepting the fact of Global Warming will enjoy this book.
If you are a reader who is concerned about the future of the planet then read this book. Fans of science-based fiction will love this book. I personally can't wait for book two. Once you read the first book you will be hooked.

As a child I grew up in the town of Kaladar, a short distance from the park, where my father used to own the Kaladar Hotel. Bon Echo Park is indeed an incredibly beautiful place. I still have fond childhood memories of the many visits to the park that my family use to take every summer! These amazing childhood memories allowed me to recapture and weave my love of nature back into this story, and then, hopefully, use it as a launch pad to cr…
