In 1969, Union Oil caused an oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara that would change the world. Hazardous crude oil flooded the Pacific Ocean, harming wildlife and devastating habitats. But from this ecological disaster sprang a new wave of environmental activism.

Based on actual events, Black Beach follows Sam and her classmates as they fight back. Sam initially feels powerless watching her parents and neighbors work to clean up the oil spill. But as her awareness grows, she learns she's not alone in caring for the Earth. The impact of the spill seeps into living rooms and classrooms across the nation. People everywhere are motivated to act, and a movement to protect and celebrate the environment is born.

This story of the first Earth Day will inspire readers of all ages to stand up for their planet.
