Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

This is a pretty inclusive book for a young reader. The author is very thorough in the information presented. Instead of sticking to the basics of food chains and ecosystems, he gets into evolution, DNA, history and chemistry. As an adult, I appreciate that, but I don't know if kids would be bored by it. The illustrations are nice to look at and the mini comics in each chapter I think are the most accessible parts for the younger audience he aims this book towards. I think it's a very balanced view of what has caused the problems in the oceans, but also a very fair view about what will and won't work to fix them. He is adamant that the world needs fishermen and the world needs to eat fish. He is also adamant that we need to change how we fish for food and what types of fish we eat. I think this is an important book to be out there. I think adults will be the ones to appreciate the real value and that kids will skim it to get the info needed to write an essay assigned in biology class.
