"A hilarious, high-octane eco-adventure with heart, brains, and bite. Planeteering is like strapping a compass to your conscience and sprinting through satire, activism, and wild friendship. You'll laugh, cringe, cheer-and maybe even rethink your carbon footprint." Best friends Tilly and Camas embark on a whirlwind "One More Year" world tour, visiting the planet's greenest countries in a bold mission to curb overconsumption. Along the way, they stumble into the exhilarating world of orienteering. But everything changes when an Icelandic sage challenges Tilly to flip the script-and explore the least eco-friendly countries too. Back in the U.S., Camas puts her new orienteering skills to the test, joining forces with three sweaty men for the Parklands Enviro-Climate Challenge-a grueling, televised adventure race across ten National Parks in just twenty-one days. Alongside rivers and ridgelines, she battles physical exhaustion, fragile alliances, and the toxic stink of macho nonsense. With backup from a spirited Bohemian activist, a rhyming green lobbyist, and a crusty Harvard professor fighting for a Green Amendment to confront environmental racism, Camas begins to uncover the fossil fuel threats lurking beneath each park's scenic surface. What begins as a race becomes a deeper reckoning-a fight for cultural preservation, justice, and the planet's future. Planeteering is Book 5 in the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series-a fast-moving cli-fi novella full of laughter, satire, kisses, and wild-hearted environmental action. It's a cheeky, big-hearted romp where saving the world is always a team sport. "In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with. One wants to be part of this healthy gang; it is easy to fall in love with one or two of them. She has found an avenue to address these critical issues that must be talked about but without a heavy hammer. A delightful read that will fill you with hope and a forgotten bounce in your step or pedal." -Chris White, author of Wind, Waves and a Suicidal Boat About the Author Avis Kalfsbeek is the author of Planeteering, the fifth book in the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series-a sharp, satirical, and joyfully rebellious collection of outdoor climate adventures that take on big environmental threats with heart, humor, and just the right amount of troublemaking. In Planeteering, Avis trades salmon guts for sweaty socks, plunging into the muddy, chaotic world of adventure racing to tell a story of fossil fuels, feminist grit, and map-powered rebellion. From smelly teammates and rhyming lobbyists to ancient professors and punk-rock protestors, she charts a hilarious and heartfelt course through national parks, toxic politics, and the tangled terrain of friendship. As always, Pedro the water dog keeps the compass pointing toward justice-with a wag and a splash. She lives with her own water dog, Teo Panadero Pescadero, roaming coastlines and mountain trails where stories stir, compasses spin, and the wild still calls.
