Justine McKeen, Eat Your Beets

Sigmund Brouwer

Description

Meet Justine McKeen, the Queen of Green. She talks a little too much, bosses a little too much and tells the truth, just not all at once. She's trying to save the planet, one person at a time, and when she decides to get something done, it's a lot of fun.


In the fourth book of the Justine McKeen series, Justine finds a stray cat and her kittens living off food in the school Dumpster. Eager to reduce waste and save animals in need, Justine comes up with a plan. Can she convince grumpy Mr. Raymond, the cafeteria manager, to put her plan into action?

Chapter One
The world s greatest kicker is about to put a soccer ball past the world s worst goalie! Safdar said.
More like the world s worst shot doesn t have a chance against the world s best goalie! Michael said.
It was Saturday morning. Safdar and Michael were on the playground near their school. Justine McKeen sat at the bottom of the slide, watching ants in the sand.
She looked up. If you guys were that good, you would actually have a net, instead of chalk marks on the school wall.
She pointed at the far end of the playground. A crowd was watching a soccer game, cheering at the players.
Of course, Justine said, if you guys were that good, you would be on one of those teams over there. You would have real nets. Just saying.
I don t like practices, Safdar said. There s no freedom for a player like me.
I just want to have fun, Michael said. I don t like rules.
You mean rules like no kicking soccer balls against the school wall? Justine asked. That rule?
It s Saturday, Michael said. What could go wrong?
Safdar kicked the soccer ball as hard as he could. It shot over Michael s head. It sailed past the chalk marks on the school wall that marked the goal. It continued over the roof of the school.
World s greatest? Michael asked.
I m about power, not accuracy, Safdar said.

Justine waited for the sound of breaking glass from the wing of the school with classrooms.
Instead, she heard a clang.
