Clearcut Danger By: Lesley Choyce

Genre: Realistic Fiction
Age Recommendation:  Grade 7/8

When Ryan first learns that a new pulp and paper mill is coming to East Harbour, he thinks it's a good thing.  But when his girlfriend, Alana, opens his eyes to the environmental devastation the mill will create, he changes his mind.  Ryan and Alana seem to be the only ones who are against the mill and have a tough fight ahead of them.  Set in Nova Scotia, this is a good story about how humans often put jobs and money ahead of the environment.  This story shows us that we can make a difference if we are willing to stand up for what we believe in.
