Description/Notes
Explores how and why plants and animals enter ecosystems to which they are not native, as well as the consequences of these invasions for other animals, plants, and humans. An award-winning science writer introduces young readers to the serious and ongoing environmental problems caused by invasive plant and animal species and shows how the delicate balance of a local ecosystem is threatened or even destroyed by the foreign intrusion. A real-life, scientific detective story with serious worldwide environmental consequences is clearly articulated for young readers. Full color.
