A River Ran Wild tells a story of restoration and renewal. Learn how the modern-day descendants of the Nashua Indians and European settlers were able to combat pollution and restore the beauty of the Nashua River in Massachusetts.

This book was a very interesting book that led readers to see a theme that our actions affect the environment and those around us. This book saw a river that once had shiny pebbles and beautiful landscape be turned into a dump for waste from factories. This book was very powerful! (

Students can learn about river pollution through this book. Along with the book at their tables they can do an experiment using their own "rivers" then as a group work to see how to reverse the effects of the pollution just as the book did.
