I liked this book. ( Its pretty good for a fact book and I usually are more into chapter books ). I think this book is meant for both boys and girls because it is mainly about the water and the tree's not so much about people. Its about how the global warming keeps changing things everywhere. Like if the ice melts that floats on the sea then freshwater will get into the ocean and then plankton will die ( plankton is a plant that feeds whales and fish ). If the plankton dies there won't be much living things in the ocean. I think the message in this story is ''help the earth''. Hope you like it!!!!!!!
