Description: Focuses on the newsworthy real issues that teens regularly face in their schools and communities. This title ties in with media and information literacy standards to compare media hype versus the reality of the issues.

Synopsis: Accessible yet sophisticated book that covers risks behind off-shore oil drilling and asks readers to think about whether or not the risks are worth the temporary supply of additional oil. In light of the BP Horizon spill, are there ways to safely obtain oil from the ocean floor?
