Traverse City-based Mission Point Press this week will launch its book, Poison on Tap: How Government Failed Flint, and the Heroes Who Fought Back. It is America’s first book to account the circumstances that produced the lead-poisoned Flint water crisis. The 330-page softcover book is based on the groundbreaking articles of Bridge Magazine and features detailed reporting, graphics, photography and timelines.

Bridge Magazine CEO John Bebow and book editor Bob Campbell, formerly of the Detroit Free Press, will appear at Horizon Books at on June 26 to talk about the making of Poison on Tap and some of its major conclusions. Poison on Tap is nonpartisan, allowing the reader to draw his or her own conclusions about where the fault lies for this debacle.

The book talk and signing will take place on Sunday, June 26, at 4 pm. One dollar of each copy sold will be donated to Flint Child Health & Development Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint
