Synopsis

IS IT WASTED? OR A NEW OPPORTUNITY?
Faced with visa challenges, the asylum seekers prove to be innovators, not victims. Drawing on their resources, they repurpose, recycle and re-create a new state trading bio-fuel via the mid-ocean garbage patches. Teenage Kit illustrates how you can draw a new future as activists turn to science. But what happens in this new world order?
 
About the Author:

Topical issues novels include Fake ID, which was screen optioned and translated into Tamil.

Her scientific contacts suggested plot twists and checked the manuscript.

Title : Fantastic Concept
Review : What a fantastic concept. I have heard of the "island" out in the Pacific ocean, a literal island of plastic waste that grows bigger by the day. What could you do with it? You could live on it! Hazel Edwards has explored an exciting new idea, with a feisty main character. How would YOU live on an island of plastic, or a boat attached to it?

Title : Great Read
Review : I just read ‘Wasted’ by Hazel Edwards, and I loved it! It’s a unique, divergent approach to refugees and environmental issues. It is set in a new state, the garbage patch, and is backed by research into oceans, calcification, diatoms and much more. I learnt so much from it, but it’s not a book of facts, it’s a story. A teenage boy, clever scientists, refugees looking for a place to belong, and a cat, with a possible murder to solve. There’s an artist in it, too! The book gives hope for a different future for refugees, as their gifts come together in a mind-blowing way. The author doesn’t provide answers; the point is that we can work together in new ways to find solutions. Recommended for readers of 11+, who like thinking differently and learning about the world., and teachers who want to pick up some of these themes. It would be great to use with an upper primary class or group of capable readers, and also comfortably with a Stage 4 class. There’s much more to explore than I can express here.
