Marcie Cohen Ferris gathers a constellation of leading journalists, farmers, chefs, entrepreneurs, scholars, and food activists—along with photographer Baxter Miller— to offer a deeply immersive portrait of North Carolina's contemporary food landscape. Ranging from manifesto to elegy, Edible North Carolina's essays, photographs, interviews, and recipes combine for a beautifully revealing journey across the lands and waters of a state that exemplifies the complexities of American food and identity. While North Carolina's food heritage is grounded in core ingredients and the proximity of farm to table, this book reveals striking differences among food-centered cultures and businesses across the state. Documenting disparities among people's access to food and farmland—and highlighting community and state efforts toward fundamental solutions—Edible North Carolina shows how culinary excellence, entrepreneurship, and the struggle for racial justice converge in shaping food equity, not only for North Carolinians, but for all Americans. Starting with Vivian Howard, star of PBS's A Chef's Life, who wrote the foreword, the contributors include Shorlette Ammons, Karen Amspacher, Victoria Bouloubasis, Katy Clune, Gabe Cumming, Marcie Cohen Ferris, Sandra Gutierrez, Tom Hanchett, Michelle King, Cheetie Kumar, Courtney Lewis, Malinda Maynor Lowery, Ronni Lundy, Keia Mastrianni, April McGreger, Baxter Miller, Ricky Moore, Carla Norwood, Kathleen Purvis, Andrea Reusing, Bill Smith, Maia Surdam, and Andrea Weigl.

The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of being taken over by the voracious crown of thorns starfish after the 2010 Queensland floods. Neptune needs an assistant with imagination to solve this problem. When these starfish spawn in large numbers it will ruin the Reef for decades, if not forever. He chooses the teenager Charlotte who treats the Coral Sea as her backyard. Charlotte is dumbfounded when she is turned into a mermaid and given the power of the universal language so she can understand most of the marine life and birds. Bellycan the pelican mentors her and Bottles the dolphin teaches her how to dive and swim as her body changes. Shortly after swimming to the Bahamas, Charlotte is called back to the Coral Sea. She is the only one capable of doing an important job. The helpful characters consist of Sam the clam, Rocky lobster, Sandy sponge, Sideways crab, Bottles the dolphin and the very overbearing and bossy octopus, Madam Armsfull, manager of the Great Barrier Reef Beauty Parlour. On her travels she teams up with albatross, manta ray, marlin and whale. She becomes aware of a number of predators of the crown of thorns who might help Charlotte. In this way the Reef may be saved... but will they be in time?
