    Paul Robeson’s resounding bass-baritone voice captivated audiences, especially when singing the spirituals he had heard at church and folk songs he had gathered from many countries. But Robeson was more than an interpreter of song. He was passionate about the injustices found in the United States and throughout the world and refused to keep quiet. As a stage and film actor, he fought against stereotypical roles and widespread racism. Labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War, Robeson was stripped of his U.S. passport and found himself unable to earn a living. But Robeson never gave up or  
    gave in. 
     
    Acclaimed nonfiction writer Susan Goldman Rubin conducted extensive research, visiting key Robeson sites and working with noted Robeson scholars, to bring to life one of the most important voices in American history.

    In the midst of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Archibald Shrew and Garbage Island’s mouse mayor, Mr. Popli, constantly clash over Archibald’s bungled inventions. 
     
    In fact, Archie and Mayor Popli are so busy arguing that they don’t realize their island is falling apart until it’s too late. 
     
    Caught in a current, these unlikely companions are swept far from home on a rip-roaring adventure neither could have imagined. 
     
    As they try to find their way back, they’ll face many perils—a massive storm, deadly predators, a formidable enemy army—and discover new strengths in themselves and in each other. But they’ll need every ounce of bravery, creativity, and cooperation they can muster—if they’re going to survive. 
     
    “Pint-sized characters face outsized challenges with heart and wit in this heroic adventure. The winner: readers!”—Sara Pennypacker, New York Times best-selling author of the Clementine series
