Description
Just when a group of fifth-grade friends is returning to normal life and to school after a global pandemic, the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have become polluted by a plastic-eating bacteria experiment gone wrong-and both fish and kids are getting sick!
Izi, Gir, and their friends go to science club and discover a fishy cover-up. The school has to close down again! These climate warriors who call themselves the Antidotes join forces with public health activists to find clean water solutions. The friends use STEM strategies to help save the earth from a potential disaster-they also have secret meetings, do a little spy work, and make some useful discoveries.
The Antidotes race against the clock to get out the word to kids around the world about how to stay safe. But-will the Antidotes be able to get enough kids to achieve zero plastic use before it makes any more fish or children sick? Join the Antidotes in their first science adventure, and stay tuned for more stories to come!

About the Author
Reviews
One of the few good things to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic has been an increased interest in science and how it can help us move towards a healthier world. Young people are way ahead of the older generations in realising the urgency of looking after our planet-there is a real sense they are determined to do a better job than we did. This book is bit scarily realistic, but it is also funny, inspiring and full of great characters. It is backed up by real science too.
I hope it can both entertain and encourage a new generation of planetary activists.
The Antidotes is a page turner-it works on so many levels. For adults who work with youth, it's a great reminder to take a step back and listen to the kids. For public health experts, it's critical to use the lessons learned from the pandemic and change up the way we solve for the future with our key communities and stakeholders. For the young people in our midst, read this, then wait for the streaming version to see what the Antidotes do next!
