This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the year 2079. Narwhals, the last tusked animals still living in the wild on the planet, are being pushed to extinction by poaching in the Canadian Arctic. The poachers are, however, about to confront the most remarkable team of human and non-human investigators ever assembled. This story is told by renowned blind detective Peter Straw, who purports to use his "third eye" in catching bad guys. Straw and his intellectually augmented seeing eye dog, Watson, are hired by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to assist them in the investigation. As the result of recent advances in synthetic brain implants, the investigative team also includes Aristotle Jones, an augmented chimp, and Emma Fitzwater, an augmented porpoise. While How The Blind Detective and His Seeing Eye Dog Saved the Narwhals by Shawn Adair Johnston is whimsical and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it also describes a world that could be just over the horizon. A world in which blind men and women can be heroes. A world enriched by the intellectual augmentation of those animals closest to and most beloved by us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2079, the "unicorns of the sea," also known as narwhals, are being driven to extinction for their ivory tusks by poachers in the Canadian Arctic. Peter Straw, the blind detective who claims to use his "third eye" to catch bad guys, is working with Canadian authorities to stop the poaching. Can Straw, with the help of three intellectually augmented animals, including his Seeing Eye dog Watson, help bring the villains to justice? As well as Watson, a harbor porpoise named Emma and a chimpanzee named Aristotle Jones have received surgical augmentation, raising their cognitive abilities to the level of young human adults. They describe their transformation into human-level consciousness as well as the role they play in tracking down the narwhal poachers. In addition to two famous ghosts haunting Quebec City, where most of the action takes place, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Coast Guard chase the villains down the St. Lawrence River where they plan to rendezvous with the foreign agents financing the narwhal poaching scheme. In this adventure story, the nature of good versus evil, consciousness, and what it means to be a "person" are explored with humor and compassion for all who struggle to overcome handicaps and achieve meaning in life.

The Decepticons, the Autobots’ brutal enemies, have their own sinister purposes in seeking the Allspark. As these adversaries are drawn together once more, the stage is set for a death-dealing new battle in which each is driven by a single-minded aim: total annihilation of the enemy.

Book excerpt: Midwest Book Award Winner — Young Adult Fiction A disturbing call from her great aunts Astrid and Jeannette sends seventeen-year-old Francie far from her new home in New York into a tangle of mysteries. Ditching an audition in a Manhattan theater, Francie travels to a remote lake in the northwoods where her aunts’ neighbors are “dropping like flies” from strange accidents. But are they accidents? On the shores of Enchantment Lake in the woods of northern Minnesota, something ominous is afoot, and as Francie begins to investigate, the mysteries multiply: a poisoned hotdish, a puzzling confession, eerie noises in the bog, and a legendary treasure said to be under enchantment—or is that under Enchantment, as in under the lake? At the center of everything is a suddenly booming business in cabin sales and a road not everyone wants built. To a somewhat reluctant northwoods Nancy Drew, the intrigue proves irresistible, especially when it draws her closer to the mysteries at the heart of her own life. What happened to her father? Who and where is her mother? Who is she, and where does her heart lie—in the bustle of New York City or the deep woods of Minnesota? With its gripping story, romantic spirit, and a sly dash of modern-day trouble (including evil realtors and other invasive species), Enchantment Lake will fascinate readers, providing precisely the charm that Margi Preus’s fans have come to expect.

Also fangs, feathers, scales, and tails.

Book excerpt: For years, scientists have noticed disruptions in animal breeding cycles, accompanied by increases in birth defects, sexual abnormalities and reproductive failure. Humans are not immune either, with sperm counts dropping by as much as 50% in recent decades and with women seeing a rise in hormone-related cancers, endometriosis and other disorders. This book traces the cause of these aberrations and diseases to the pervasive presence in the environment of chemicals that mimic hormones and trick the reproductive system. The conclusions are as obvious as they are inescapable - unless we make vital changes in the way we manufacture and employ the artefacts of our good life , there will be no life at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel about one girl’s journey to the arctic, where she discovers the power of letting go of pain and opening up to second chances When twelve-year-old Talia—still reeling from the recent death of her mother—is forced to travel with her emotionally and physically distant whale-researcher father to the Arctic for the summer, she begins to wonder if the broken pieces inside of her will ever begin to heal. Like her jar of wishes, Talia feels bottled up and torn. Everything about life in Churchill feels foreign, including Sura, the traditional Inuit woman whom Talia must live with. But when Sura exposes her to the tradition of storytelling, she unlocks something within Talia that has long since been buried: her ability to hope, to believe again in making wishes come true. A rich and poignant story about opening up—to new people, to second chances, to moving forward with life. Praise for Waiting for Unicorns: "Debut author Hautala's writing in this first-person narrative is lyrical and evocative; her descriptions of the landscape are vivid. Written by an author to watch, this quiet story of loss and healing will appeal to thoughtful readers." --Kirkus Reviews "This poignant story demonstrates that opening up to new experiences, places, and people can enrich life even in the aftermath of tragedy."--School Library Journal “[An] affecting exploration of grief and the hope that can come through the love of good friends. With spellbinding descriptions…this story will stay with readers.”--Publishers Weekly “Contemplative writing…a thoughtful examination of loss and hope.”--Booklist "Hautala mines the frigid setting for some exquisitely wrought metaphors of sadness and grief, and Tal’s reflections on her situation are lyrical and yet still appropriate, given her age. Readers who were touched by Holly Goldberg Sloan’s Counting by 7s will find this to be a similarly moving tale."--BCCB Reviews "Middle school readers will embrace Talia and her new family in the Arctic and perhaps receive the message about the power of stories to heal."--VOYA Reviews "This is a well-written tween novel that deals with growing pains, grief, and loneliness."--School Library Connection
