In 1989, a giant oil tanker crashed into a reef off the coast of Alaska and turned a peaceful ocean into a sticky disaster zone. Black oil coated everything-from beaches and birds to otters and orcas-and the damage didn't stop when the cameras left. This book brings young readers face-to-face with one of the most shocking environmental disasters in U.S. history. Told in a clear, engaging voice that speaks directly to kids, it explores how a quiet night turned into a catastrophe, how people and animals struggled to survive, and how the world changed in response. Readers will learn what went wrong, who was affected, and how cleanup efforts sometimes caused more harm than good. From strange solutions like burning oil on the water to brave wildlife rescues and lasting changes in the law, the story is packed with real facts and unforgettable moments. Perfect for curious minds, classroom reports, or any young reader who wants to understand how human actions can affect the planet-and how people can fight to protect it. This isn't just a story about oil. It's about mistakes, consequences, and the power of speaking up. The ocean remembers. And now, so will you.
