Justine McKeen, Queen of Green by Sigmund Brouwer
Jimmy Blatzo saw three large brownie squares in a Ziploc bag on the table. He grabbed the squares. This is your punishment. He pulled one out and crammed it into his mouth. May I have the bag back? Justine asked. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Not a chance, he said, chewing. He marched out of the cafeteria. That's too bad, Justine told Michael and Safdar. What? Safdar asked. That you just made enemies with the biggest bully in the school? Or that he drank your juice, smashed your sandwiches and took your desert? said Michael. No, said Justine. That he took the Ziploc bag. I was hoping to use it for the whole school year. Plus, those brownies were part of my science project. Meet Justine Mckeen. She talks a little too much, bosses a little too much and, as you'll find out, tells the truth, just not all at once. She's trying to save the planet, one person at a time, and when she decides to get something done, it involves a whole lot fun.
