Staff Pick of the Week: Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots

This week's book pick is Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots by Abby McDonald.

Jenna's mission in life is to save the world from environmental disaster. When her summer plans for an eco-friendly internship fall through, she decides the best alternative is to visit her godmother Susie in Stillwater, British Columbia. This Canadian town is serious backwoods, and Jenna is certain spending time in actual nature will only amplify her green credentials. But after meeting Susie's extremely unpleasant stepdaughter and realizing she (Jenna) doesn't have a clue about what "real" nature actually is, Jenna begins to understand that being a true environmentalist is much more than waving a protest sign.
