About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Fifth Grader, Allison and the Five Amigos think it just might. The Five Amigos… who are Allison and her four BFs; Melanie, Tyler, Tally and Chello…all feel it might be a stinky caper, yet they find themselves following the aroma filled clues to solve it.
Allison decides to help her Iowa elementary school to become a Green School. She got the idea when she made a summer visit to her grandparents’ who live on the Oregon Coast. She learned a lot about taking care of the Earth from them, and wants to be part of keeping the Earth green. So... back home and back in school, Allison brings her excitement to The Five Amigos. Allison tells them about Green Schools, and with their help, as well as their teacher, fifth grade class, and eventually the entire school, they all set out to become Green by Earth Day. A school Green Team is formed with Allison leading it. As the team is working on becoming Green, they are slowed down when cans, the team recycles and gets money for, go missing. The Amigos follow clues and leads to solve the mystery... Along the way there are many LOL moments and fun... as well as lessons learned.
