Bad Oil and the Animals is an absorbing and exciting book about a group of teenagers who decide to investigate the way palm oil plantations are destroying the habitat of orangutans. Interwoven into this action-packed novel is the use of palm kernel extract as stock feed plus an expose of factory farming. It is a fascinating tale that teenagers will love. I can highly recommend it.’ Sue Kedgley, politician, animal welfare campaigner and author.
‘Being a teenager who is passionate about solving the ethical problems that affect our planet I related to this book in every way. An enthralling page-turner, Bad Oil and the Animals is both well researched and cleverly written. It features five teenagers who learn about the injustices surrounding dairy production and palm plantations and want to take action. I liked how the compelling storyline and description combined to create a story that shone light on palm plantations and dairy production as well as making for an interesting read. It’s an inspiring, heartbreaking and at times harrowing book that is laced with humour in parts. I would totally recommend it. I think teenagers and young adults would enjoy it the most, however it is fairly simply written and younger readers would be able to follow it too. Happy reading!” Maja (12-year old girl, Christchurch member of *SAFE, March 2017 *SAFE, Save Animals From Exploitation is New Zealand’s leading animal advocacy organisation.
