Life is full of challenges for thirteen-year-old Liza.

Liza is already having trouble coping with the death of a local homeless man when she learns that her family's apple tree will need to be chopped down. If that wasn't enough, the new principal at school keeps blocking her attempts for a positive outlet by refusing permission for every project that GRRR! (Girls for Renewable Resources, Really!) and BRRR! (Boys for Renewable Resources, Really!) proposes. Liza starts to feel like she needs to create change in her world without seeking permission. When she chooses the school grounds as the site for her latest endeavor, she may have gone too far.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read!

      In this sequel to Slick, Liza and her friends from "GRRR!" (Girls for Renewable Resources, Really!) investigate both the death of a homeless man (who was a friend to Liza's family), and a fungus overrunning the neighborhood apple trees. Though the book tends to get preachy, Liza's activism may attract reluctant readers interested in social justice.
