Synopsis

When Ellie's parents are busted for possession of marijuana, the FBI gives her a choice: infiltrate the Mother Earth Defenders (MED), a radical environmental group, or her parents will go to jail. At first Ellie is more than willing to entrap the MEDics, but the more time she spends undercover—particularly with Coyote, the green-eyed MEDic that she can't stop thinking about—the more she starts to believe in their cause. When talk turns to murder, Coyote backs out, but Ellie is willing to risk everything to save her family—even if it means losing Coyote and putting her own life on the line.

April Henry, author of many award-winning teen novels, pulls an issue straight from the headlines as she deftly explores what happens when good intentions get out of hand.

Goodreads review by Shelley on May 12, 2017

I think this was one of April Henry's earlier books but I enjoyed it just as much as the others. She does a great job of creating mystery stories which are not too heavy and teens find enjoyable. This book was about a group of young adults who are protesting deforestation in an area which they have......more
