Anil loves karate, his friends and the solar power project he has been championing in his community. He doesn't love having to speak up-as his karate sensei says, best fight, no fight. Still, Anil wishes his classmate Mohan would stop picking on him.
Then Anil learns where the city is planning to build a new solar panel factory. More sustainable energy is good news-but this factory will threaten the mangrove forests that have protected the coast for centuries, and spoil the lives of the fisherfolk. Staying quiet isn't an option anymore . . .
A project in school makes Anil start asking questions about the factory. With help from his friends Yasmin and Reeni, and family and the community, can Anil help the city find a solution that works for everyone? And just how loudly will he have to speak up?
