Nabila Khashoggi has creating a second wonderfully stunning kids novel in the Spartan and the Green Egg children's book series filled with aliens, environmental activism, adventure and fun. Spartan and the Green Egg, Book 2: The Reefs of Mindoro Island is equal parts entertaining adventure and a captivating quest to help kids learn about the world around them and the beauty we all need to treasure. It's charming, superbly written, lush, sharp, energetic and educational at the same time.The story centers around Spartan, his dog Grimm, his friends and Egg, a cool alien spaceship, as they venture out into the world and explore it's beauty and all the fantastic places to be found. They group visits Mindoro Island and the delicate reefs that surround it and all too soon it becomes clear that the reefs are in danger and only they can stop a group of fisherman from doing irrevocable damage to the reefs. The book has a wonderful quality to it that doesn't fail at making you feel connected to the story and the efforts of Spartan, Egg and the rest of the group of kids. It's certainly a memorable read that made an impression and has me looking forward for more books from Nabila Khashoggi.
