On a global tour of the world's greenest countries to reduce overconsumption, an Icelandic sage suggests Tilly also visits the least environmental countries. Having discovered orienteering in Sweden, Camas joins an adventure racing team with three smelly men to compete in the Parklands Enviro-Climate Challenge. The televised adventure race through ten national parks in twenty-one days tests her strength, relationships, and spirit. With the help of Tilly, a spunky Bohemian activist, a rhyming green lobbyist, and an ancient Harvard professor, Camas reveals fossil fuel threats looming over each of the nation's natural treasures.
Planeteering is Book 5 of the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series, a novella-length environmental climate adventure filled with lovable, quirky characters in a candy wrapper of laughter, irreverence, kisses, friendship, satire, adventure racing and love.
"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."
