passed away, and her father has lost all of their money; they are on their way to start a medical practice in Oregon when her father suddenly wants to be apart of the California Gold Rush. The interest level for this book was grades five through eight, but I think it should've been for an older age group because the description seemed too advanced for fifth graders. I searched hope on Google and 1,750,000,000 results came up in just .8 seconds. After scrolling through eight pages of religious sources, charity organizations, and many other random articles I found a site called Misson-blue.org. "Mission Blue is an initiative of the Sylvia Earle Alliance (S.E.A.) to ignite public support for the protection of Hope Spots—special places that are vital to the health of the ocean, the blue heart of our planet." Hope Spots are about empowering and supporting people and communities around the globe in their efforts to protect the ocean. Only about twelve percent of the land around the world is under some form of protection, while less than four percent of the ocean is protected. The whole point is that anyone can nominate a spot in the ocean that is special to him or her- a site that gives them hope. These spots can be big or small, but they all must provide hope. Mission Blue started with just nineteen Hope Spots; today, there are fifty Hope Spots in total. There was even an Emmy award winning Netflix documentary made about Mission Blue. The site was interesting because it had a map that you could use to review all the Hope Spots around the world.
