Secrets of an Undercover Activist (2022)
(Secrets )
Nat Amoore
"A laugh-out-loud, prank-packed, heartwarming book about standing up for what is right and making yourself heard. I couldn't wait to see what brilliant, hilarious pranks Casey and her small band of undercover eco-activists will come up with next. Nat Amoore manages to strike the perfect balance between unforgettable characters, witty narrative, a fast-paced, action-packed plot and a really meaningful story about living life boldly. I absolutely loved this book."
