Makoona

The John Morano Eco-Adventure Series #2

by John Morano, Sarah Anderson (Illustrator)

Welcome to the inspiring story of Binti, a female octopus who lives in the Makoona coral reef, and Kemar, a Cambodian boy who fishes there.

When sixteen-year-old Kemar is abandoned at sea for refusing to harm marine life, he washes ashore on the reef—only to become entangled in destructive fishing that's killing the very reef that saved him. Below the waves, Binti the octopus searches for meaning while her coral home explodes around her. Two species, two journeys, one shared fate. Can redemption come from the most unlikely connections? With Grateful Dead wisdom and WWF endorsement, Makoona transforms readers into ocean advocates.

Featuring a special introduction by Kathryn Fuller, President of the World Wildlife Fund.

I enjoyed the book. I liked all the characters and I cared about what happened to the octopus. I recommend it!

The book Makoona is about an octopus Binti and Kemar (a human). The main quest for Binti is to find a shell because she's a mollusk. The main quest for Kemar is to ... survive. Kemar finds a small fishing village and lives there for the rest of the book and he goes on some crazy adventures. Binti goes on some surprisingly less crazy adventure.
