​"An important topic gets a very appealing treatment." ​- Kirkus
Each faced with a problem, Marvin Stone and Joseph B. Friedman made tweaks to the straw—one made it paper and one made it bend. But sometimes solving one problem, causes an even bigger one. The plastic straw and single-use plastics—everyday conveniences for most of us—are taking their toll on our environment. And it’s up to us to find the solution.

"Charming, humorous, and full of heart! Romito's debut takes a poignant look at growing up and growing apart, and the lengths we'll go to for friendship."
