Noah Green Saves the World

Noah is a would-be filmmaker who has trouble making friends and understanding people. In Noah Green Saves the World, by Laura Toffler-Corrie, Noah thinks that this summer, the best place for him is the David Lynch Film Camp, to work on his film "opus," and not his parents' choice, Camp Challah, to work on his bar mitzvah project. But before camp starts, Noah's grandfather, "Pops" takes him aside, along with Simon, a new arrival but not quite friend, and tells them both "It's up to you to save the world!" Is Pops just confused, or is he onto something? When a pigeon flies into camp carrying mysterious messages, Noah and Simon wonder if maybe they do really have to save the world. With help from his new friends, Josh, Tyler, environmentalist and upcoming singer-songwriter Mia, and even his popular sister Lily, Noah finds that he can make films, make friends, do his bar mitzvah project, and maybe even save the world after all.
