Ocean Helpers: From Tangles in the Tide to Teamwork at School

By Chloe Bly

Ocean Helpers: From Tangles in the Tide to Teamwork at School is a short, feel-good chapter book for 3-8 about four friends who turn a beach rescue into real change at their school.

After freeing a crab from a plastic ring and a turtle from fishing line, the kids start the Ocean Helpers, count what they collect, and trace the trash back to where it begins.

With a lifeguard, a science teacher, and their classmates, they test a simple idea-refill instead of buy-and launch a splash-free water station that cuts bottle waste and builds proud new habits.

Perfect for home, classroom, library, or eco-club reading, this story blends adventure with hands-on problem-solving. Readers learn safe, kid-friendly actions: snip loops, spot and sort, count to learn, refill to reduce. The book models teamwork, data-driven thinking, and gentle leadership.

What young readers will enjoy: a dramatic tide-pool rescue, clear roles like Spotter, Picker, Sorter, and the catchy "Straight, Wait, and Eight" refill rule. What adults will appreciate: discussion points on maps, tally marks, and testing ideas; a hopeful message that small steps add up.

Inside you'll find five fast chapters (Tangles, Team, Count, Change, Splash-Free), rich black-and-white illustrations, and back-matter tips you can try right away.

Ocean Helpers shows how caring for the coast can start with a single snip, a careful count, and a brave idea-because big waves of change begin with kids.
