About This Item
San Diego, California, U.S.A.: Gulliver Books, 1996 First Edition, first printing, full letter line A to E, no DJ as issued, v. light rub to corners, no writing or marks. Awardwinning illustrator tackles water pollution in the Chattanooga: a thrilling story about an experiment using a "Living Machine," illustrated with the author's collages. I don't know if this book was successful at all. Everyone's heard of Molly Bang, but I had not heard of this book, and after 14 years that is very disappointing. Worse, when I typed "Chattanooga Sludge" into the Search bar on Wikipedia, I was directed to the story of a 2008 eco disaster, a fly ash sludge spill in the Tennessee Valley Area. On her website, Molly Bang says, "Chattanooga Sludge didn¿t sell well at all and now it¿s out of print. Did it not sell because it is too complicated for young children? Because it¿s a science book? Because it came out 15 years before people began to be really worried about pollution? Because the experiment was only half successful and we Americans like totally successful experiments?"
