Science DiscussionsFor more information about the novel Lake Rescue, please go to Beacon Street Girls. Russell also comments about the book Lake Rescue. She states, "Kids really enjoyed the book, I think, because the message doesn't hit them over the head. Because there are so many female characters, I think every girl reading it has someone to identify with if they didn't identify with the overweight character. We got only positive feedback." According to its website, B*tween Productions, Inc., the developer of Beacon Street Girls, the "Beason Street Girls" series is “a consumer/entertainment brand committed to the health and well being of girls 9-13. And, "The mission of the company is to provide the kind of positive role models and empowering messages that help girls believe in themselves, whatever their challenges. The BSG brand crosses socio-economic barriers and provides problem-solving tools within an entertaining format that girls can apply to their own lives.” Its website continues to say, “We want girls to believe in themselves, no matter what their challenges. We provide girls, especially those ages 9 to 13, with positive role models and empowering messages. We give them a look at a wide range of life experiences, supplying them with problem-solving tools that they can apply to their own lives. And we do it in a fun and entertaining way that makes girls want to come back again and again.” Obesity and the overweight problem in the United States and all over the world is not just an over-eating problem. It is also a lifestyle problem. By introducing children to a healthy lifestyle early in their lives, including healthy foods, exercise, and appropriate reading materials, they will more likely continue such practices into adulthood. |
