Three unlikely conspirators-an eleven-year-old girl, a retired government investigator, and an activist teacher--work together to block the privatization of a local spring for profit--by initiating action to prevent an out-of-town investor from establishing a water bottling plant.
Their collaboration, within the contexts of community organizing and a natural disaster, leads to meaningful transformation for each of them. How they come to trust and depend upon each other provides a wellspring for wider, and riskier, actions. Their exchanges, in the contexts of community organizing and a natural disaster, lead to meaningful transformation for each of them.
A tribute to the power and mystery of water.
The largeness of spirit, thought, and heart is so clear in Water Spies. --Shirley Glubka, author of Return to a MeadowAlso in
