There is so much she didn't know about bees! Like how they help plants grow. And as land is developed, the areas where bees find pollen is being destroyed. When Jolene's mom stops her from digging up the front yard for a garden to attract bees, Jolene must come up with a new plan to help them. But it's a pretty big problem. Is this one even Green Jolene can't solve? It's a good thing she has neighbors and friends to help.

Meet Green Jolene: a green, clean, climate-conscious heroine. This illustrated chapter book series by New York Times best-selling author Wendy Mass is perfect for kids who are inspired by Greta Thunberg and love Beverly Cleary's Beezus and Ramona and other classics like Ivy & Bean and Clementine. It all began (as the best stories do) with a very stinky backpack! Jolene wouldn't have guessed that the first day of summer vacation would start with her trying to figure out if the squishy object smelling up her backpack was a half-eaten tuna sandwich or a six-month-old plum! (It was both!) While dumping old food in the trash and bringing out the recycling, Jolene sees the huge boxes of stuff her new neighbors got delivered. She realizes how many of her own belongings she doesn't use anymore. Horrified by the idea of contributing to overflowing landfills and trash-filled oceans, Jolene hatches a big plan to not only deal with her own stuff, but her whole neighborhood's unwanted items as well. Of course, big plans never work out quite the way we think they will! Clad in her favorite rain boots, Jolene is ready to save the world. Or, at least, to tackle her own neighborhood's stuff and find some surprising new allies along the way. For fans of Ivy & Bean and Clementine comes Jolene, a can-do new hero who is discovering how to take an Earth-first approach to every problem she encounters.
