I love this book because it has a lot of conflict which makes the story interesting. The main character is Effie. My favourite character is Ruby because she cares about her friends and is kind.

I loved hoy W they called Matt Spader, Darth Spader and I like the river clean up idea, I have this interest of cleaning up streets. Maybe Laura Wood could make the book out of re-useable plastic and write a sticker that says that.

I thought that it was really inspiring. I love that Effie used to follow to the rules but when she saw what was happening to the earth and nobody really cared Effie and her friends become rebels. I like Katie the best because she is quite annoying at first but she soon becomes friends with Effie and helps her with the river-clean up.

It was a very funny book and I like how even though she faced a lot of challenges, she never stopped fighting for what she believed and the cause she fought for was a river clean up. I also love the way Effie and her friends found a way to conquer the challenges they faced, they would do whatever it took, even breaking into the school!

This was such a good book! I loved how it was funny but also focused on bigger, important issues such as Climate Change and democracy. I also liked how it was realistic how it portrayed school, friends, siblings and life. I think it's also an inspiring book that empowers people to help our planet.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It’s about a girl called Effie who feels very strong about saving the planet but when Matt Spader becomes student president it changes everything. Can Effie, her team of friends, family, her precious rival and a talking parrot save it all before it’s too late? My favourite character was Effie because I like if she sets her mind to something she can do it! I would definitely recommend this book to people who want to make a difference or is looking for a good read!

This is a good book. Effie is brave and stood up for what she believed in. She helped save the environment like I try to do.

I liked it because Effie belived that she could make a difference even when her friend broke his leg and her nemisis is declared prisedent of of the school because her friend was the prisedent who wanted to help Effie raise money to clean a river, but her nemisis wants to change the colour of the football team shirts. So Effie makes her voice heard.

I thought this book was really inspirational and made me think about the environment and how it is treated.It is now our responsibility to take care of our environment and ensure that it is kept clean and is a safe place for all wildlife and people.Every plastic bottle, every plastic straw and every other thing made from not biodegradable substances that is thrown in the ocean makes a difference in this world. A bad difference.My favourite character in this book was Effie because she stood up for what she believed in. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that we, as children can and should do something to stop this world from turning into a wasteland.

I thought this book was spectacular my favourite person is Effie but also Aaron Davis because I feel sorry that he broke his leg it interested me because I think it’s a really good idea doing a school fete but not if Matt Spader is in your way I would recommend this book to people who like nature other spending your money on football clothes.

I thought this book was incredible. It made me think that sitting still and quietly is no use if there is something to be done. It also made me think that the world needs more caring for and every one should help. my favourite character was Effie because she showed everyone the world needs saving. I would recommend this to anyone aged 9 - 16.
