Based on fact as it is, it's a pretty good primer for community action. (Contact your representative! Do interesting things that look good in the news media! Call the governor!) There's also a subplot in which Oliver deals with a bully. The book is not complex but it is interesting enough to hold the attention of middle schoolers and they'll learn a few things about fossils, politics, and dealing with difficult classmates. ( )
