Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom are in for some investigative work. Garbage is littered all over the beach, threatening marine life. As the kids follow up, there are a few suspects: Boss Mackan, Derek, Baldy, and Mohawk, among others. Someone is being paid to dump in the ocean, and there must be a reason!

Meanwhile, Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom win a contest and are taken for a tour of Tsavo National Park in Nairobi, Kenya. Tsavo National Park is thrilling, and the kids can’t wait to view the lions, leopards, and elephants. However, there’s a hiccup in Tsavo. Discover what happens by reading more!

Thoreau made the tale even more irresistible. He was the youngest in the group and experienced nightmares about a monster in garbage form charging after him. Furthermore, he was skeptical about creeping out in the middle of the night. His nature made him wary of any slight sound or thing. I enjoyed that.

I cherished the diversity of the story, more so the characters. Zoom is African American, while Einstein is Asian American. Moreover, there are different dialects included that will encourage kids to learn new languages.

The Tsavo National Park escapade was the most thrilling of all. The kids encounter a no-nonsense elephant named Bertha, who deals with some poachers mercilessly. The elephant was done observing her kind being ripped off of their precious tusks by greedy and malicious poachers.

Boss Mackan was gluttonous, and money was the sole thing he was after, even if he got it at the expense of the people and marine life around him. He was willing to use substandard materials to cut down on costs. Despite being kids, Tracey, Thoreau, Dee Jay, Einstein, Skateboard, and Zoom were willing to risk their lives to get to the core of the garbage dumping illegalities.

I rate Kids Can Change The World by Ben Goldstein 4 out of 4 stars. I detected nothing to dislike. Therefore, the book is professionally edited. I recommend it to children interested in novellas advocating for environmental awareness and detective work.

This book reminds me when I used to play detective when I was a kid. My partner was my younger cousin who had a knack for suspecting that things aren't as it appeared. This book will really be nostalgic for me.

An interesting story to teach kids the importance of environmental cleanliness. Encouraging kids to keep marine life safe by not dumping waste and minimizing wastage can make the Earth beautiful. The title is perfectly apt!

People are greatly influenced by their environment. And it is crucial for demonstrating to children how they may contribute to influencing the world as a whole.

I truly believe the future is in the hands of our kids. They indeed can change the world, and if from a very young age they learn about the environment and how to deal responsibly with it, it can only be applauded.

I like one of the messages of the book, which is preserving the environment. Tracey and her friends seem to teach children to protect Mother Nature. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Well, I liked the review. However, could you allow me to point out that it is the elephant's kid, not kind. Plus the book sounds good to children considering the fictional characters come to the park in Kenya where I am. What a magical world? And I imagine how magical it would be for kids or "kinds" hu! hu!

The book follows a group of diverse kids as they set out to save the world from pollution, climate change, and illegal wildlife trafficking. The characters are lovable and relatable, and their adventures are filled with action and suspense. What’s truly inspiring about this book is how it teaches children that they too have the power to make a positive impact on the world. It shows that kids can be agents of change, and that they can make a difference no matter how young they are. Overall, “The Adventures of the World Patrol Kids” is an important and fun book for children that instills values of environmentalism and social justice. The story is engaging and the message is powerful, making it a must-read for parents and children alike

Very interesting storyline that could impact kids and help ignite the detective capacity in them. I believe this book will be ideal for children 6 to 12 years of age. By the way love the character Zoom.
