Copper Cobra - Kalfsbeek, Avis

. .

Résumé :
A hilarious, high-octane eco-adventure with a heart as big as Alaska. Copper Cobra skewers corruption with wit, reels you in with lovable misfits, and leaves you cheering for friendship, wild places, and the wild, weird magic of standing up for what matters. Hip-hop-loving best friends Moore and Spit are back in Copper Cobra, Book 4 of the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series-a whip-smart, laugh-out-loud climate caper where friendship, activism, and Alaskan absurdity collide. Signing on for a summer salmon season, the duo expects long hours and big fish-not a toxic mining scheme slithering through backroom deals and straight into the heart of the world's largest wild salmon run. Armed with nothing but grit, charm, and questionable dance moves, they team up with a seductive social media sleuth, a 106-year-old pot-smoking resort matriarch, a rhyming green lobbyist, and a flotilla of feuding, ego-driven boat captains to take on the mine. Packed with irreverent humor, rogue romance, and enough fish guts to fill a freezer barge, this novella-length adventure serves up satire, scenic splendor, and the wild joy of protecting something fiercely beautiful-set against the unforgettable backdrop of coastal Alaska. In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with. One wants to be part of this healthy gang...

In Copper Cobra, Avis trades bike chains for salmon guts, diving into the wild waters of Alaska to deliver a story of fishy politics, rogue friendships, and defiant eco-activism. From warring boat captains and seductive sleuths to ancient weed-smoking wisdom and rhyming lobbyists, she reels readers into a world where saving the planet is messy, hilarious, and totally worth it.
