The second in the Project Earth-mend Series of environmentally conscious but enjoyable novels for kids who want to learn about how to save the Earth. After their early success with Project Earth-Mend in Canberra in The Greenhouse Effect, Tiger the Cat bids farewell to his owner, Alexander, and heads off to the coast with his friend Wanda the Blue-tongue and the frog Tark (who is really an extraterrestrial from the Planet Griffon) to spread the word about how to save the Earth.

They enlist a lot of fellow creatures along the way, including Sid the Crow, who brings important messages from Prince and Eudora of the Sacred Pool. With a lot of help from Tark’s magical toe, Tiger and the crew convince others to help out in the quest to cool the Earth, but the ultimate test lies ahead when they have to convince the elusive Yowie and the doubtful King of the Crocs to pitch in. Can they really help shift the Earth away from disaster toward Global Cooling? Read on and find out!

All of the books in the Project Earth-Mend series (including this book) are on the lists for the South Australian Premier’s Reading Challenge and the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge!
