The Greenies - by Emma Mills

Book Synopsis

The Baby-Sitters Club meets The Breakfast Club in this fun and fresh graphic novel about a girl who reluctantly joins the Environmental Club at her new school-and finds friendship and community where she least expects it.

After her parents' divorce, seventh grader Violet is forced to start all over.

Now the new kid, at a new school, in a new town, she must navigate unfamiliar territory. Luckily, Violet falls in with a new group of (maybe?) friends. But when they wind up in detention, they're forced to join the under-attended Environmental Club--and mischief ensues. What will become of this rag-tag group?

Fans of Raina Telgemeier will love this hilarious and heartfelt story about making friends, making mistakes, and making it up as you go along--until you end up just where you were meant to be.
