Two words-"science project"-inspire dread in Kristin Meese. A good student in the coastal Maine town of Mastport, Kristin plans to survive the project and perhaps earn a decent grade by working with her best friend, Tess. After her science teacher assigns Kristin to be partners with Riley Bennettson, a girl who would rather play lacrosse than do her homework, Kristin figures she is doomed to a terrible project and a bad grade. To make matters even worse, Kristin and Riley get "Trash" as their project topic. Barely able to talk without arguing, the girls settle into an uneasy partnership when they discover a serious environmental problem in Mastport. When their project stirs up a controversy in town, the girls face a difficult decision. Should they wrap up their work and go their separate ways, or take action together to protect Mastport's environment? Inspired by a true story.

Living at the height of the Victorian era, Cameron was anything but conventional, experimenting with the relatively new medium of photography, promoting her own art though exhibition and sale, and pursuing the eminent personalities of her age—Alfred Tennyson, Charles Darwin, Thomas Carlyle, and others—as subjects for her lens. For the first time, all know...
