Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Paterson Prize for Books for Young People "It's easy to empathize with [Lily]....Throughout, first-time author Scofield creates striking images that will stay with readers." --Publishers Weekly "This is a painful and poignant story that is not for every reader; but for those ready to deal with complex realistic fiction, it has much to offer." --Booklist "Dynamic...[Protagonist Lily Asher] comes to glorious, heartbreaking, embraceable, vibrant life courtesy of the experiences, heart and immense imagination and talent of Eugene author Chris Scofield." --The Register-Guard "Chris Scofield has written a young adult novel that doesn't compromise integrity for trendiness....It's complex and quirky...there can be no doubt as to its uniqueness." --LitReactor "The Shark Curtain is worth a read by teens and adults alike." --Eugene Weekly "Absolutely bewitching....Scofield has crafted a dense, poignant book, filled with extraordinarily beautiful language....In exploring themes such as art, sex, and self-acceptance, Scofield examines the trade-offs we all make to be included in the tribe." --KLCC "Those who prefer edgy period fiction with truly original characters will be fascinated by this glimpse into the mind of an unmedicated non-neurotypical teen struggling to come of age in the '60s." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The Shark Curtain...is believable and real." --What Is Much "Brilliant, engaging, engulfing, fulfilling, beautiful. The Shark Curtain will turn you inside out and make you see the world differently. As well you should. As well we all should. Because life isn't about having the answers, it's about grappling with the questions. Chris Scofield's fantastically fantastic novel pins the tail on the donkey with a pneumatic nail gun--I absolutely insist that you read this book!" --Garth Stein, New York Times best-selling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain Set against the changing terrain of middle-class values and the siren calls of art and puberty, The Shark Curtain invites us into Lily Asher's wonderful, terrible world. The older of two girls growing up in suburban Portland, Oregon, in the mid-1960s, her inner life stands in quirky contrast to the loving but dysfunctional world around her. Often misunderstood by her flawed but well-intentioned parents, teenage Lily orbits their tumultuous love affair, embracing what embraces her back: the ghost of her drowned dog, a lost aunt, numbers, shoe boxes, werewolves, rituals, and stories she pens herself (including one about a miscarried sibling she dubs "Frog Boy"). With "regular" visits from a wisecracking Jesus, an affectionate but combative friendship is born--a friendship that strains Lily's grasp of reality as much as her patience. From the violence of a Peeping Tom and catching Mom in flagrante delicto with the neighbor, to jungles in her closet, butlers under her bed, and barking in public, Lily struggles to balance her family's expectations with the visions that continue to isolate her.

Download or read book Shark Song written by Carolin Window and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN EXCITING YOUNG WRITER HITTING HER STRIDE AN INTOXICATING NOVEL ABOUT LOVE, LEGENDS AND THE SEA When we published Carolin's first novel, Dim, two years ago, all the reviewers said this was a writer to watch. Well, have a look. Here's Shark Song. Here is Carolin's rich, poetic, sensuous prose serving up a story of a boy and a girl ... and a boy and a boy ... a lost island, a lost father, and a magical journey along Australia's eastern coastline. Kel was born on an island in the Pacific. But during a savage hurricaine her parents were killed, and she was taken by a white family to live in Australia. Now she's old enough to want to know the truth: about where she was born, about her real parents,and the truth about her sinister foster father and brothers. Ajax is a surfer. He's always lived by the sea. He's good-looking, the world (or at least all the girls in it) is at his feet -- but he is plagued by doubt. What is he doing with his life? What is he doing hanging out with Karen, the hottest surfer chick around? Some guys would be happy, but Ajax wants more. And then he meets Kel, and nothing else seems to matter. So when Kel decides she's leaving to discover her truth, Ajax has no choice but to follow. He doesn't have many clues, but he does receive the gift of a magical necklace of shells. Each shell contains a dream of the past, of the island where Kel was born. There are dark secrets in Kel's past, and as he blunders on after her, Ajax gets tantalising -- and sometimes frightening -- glimpses of them. The danger lies not only in the past. In the present Kel's foster brothers are looking for her too. They have their own secrets, and their own mission. Window unfolds her story in beautiful, original and mesmerising language, incorporating Polynesian myths into the story of Ajax and Kel, and suffused with the wonder of the sea. This is no ordinary love story, and its ending will surprise you. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Carolin Window grew up in Sydney. She has a university honours degree and worked in educational publishing for a period. Then several years ago she threw in the regular job and the Sydney lifestyle to go bush, travel and write. She ended up in far north Queensland, where she has worked on boats in the Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef for the past two years while writing Shark Song. In recent months she has moved south and relocated to Brisbane. Random House published her fantastic and fantastical first novel, Dim, the story of a girl able to throw her voice like a lyrebird and who is blessed (or is it cursed?) with nine lives, in 1996. SELLING POINTS: ** An immensely talented young writer (she's barely into her 30s) building on the critical success of her first novel. ** For those who found Dim difficult, Shark Song presents a cleaner narrative. Window is really hitting her stride in a big way with this second novel. ** A different kind of love story played out up and down the east coast of Australia. ** A must for all sea-lovers: some of the most beautiful, magical and sensual writing about the pleasures -- and terrors -- of the sea you will ever read. ** Genuine Australian magic realism. Magical shells that hold dreams, dreams that tell truths about the past and the present, portents and visions. ** Incorporates Polynesians legends of the sea. No other Australian fiction writer has explored this territory. Window's treatment of Polynesian culture -- such as the faketeli, the transvestite Polynesian youth, and the legend of the shark god of love -- is sensitive and revealing. ** Window has a unique and intensely poetic style. Her prose shimmers. There is nothing like it. ** Great reviews for DIM: 'This is a daring, imaginative first novel, written with considerable brio' SUN-HERALD (SYDNEY) 'a fantastical account of the twisted, black void between the worlds of good and evil ... There is a rhythmic beauty to Dim, a terse, poetic, spell

Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Sharks by : A. Peter Klimley
Download or read book The Secret Life of Sharks written by A. Peter Klimley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine biologist Pete Klimley swims with the sharks. He was one of the first scientists to free-dive among sharks, and he has spent nearly thirty years studying shark behavior, sometimes swimming in schools of several hundred sharks. From his firsthand observations he has learned that sharks are not the vicious man-eaters that we imagine, but fascinating animals with complex behaviors. Most people who think of sharks at all think immediately of great white sharks. But there are more than four hundred species of shark. Dr. Klimley has studied several species, most notably the great white and the hammerhead. (He describes the great white as the athlete among sharks, and the hammerhead as the Ph.D. of the shark world.) In The Secret Life of Sharks Dr. Klimley reveals the significant discoveries he made about hammerhead navigation and great white eating habits. By studying hammerheads gathered around underwater seamounts, Dr. Klimley learned that hammerheads rely on sophisticated tracking of ocean-floor magnetism to navigate. His long-term study of great white sharks off the California coast demonstrated that these huge sharks prefer to eat seals and sea lions because of the energy contained in their fatty bodies. They are selective eaters, not the man-eaters we expect, and they sometimes go weeks between meals. But Dr. Klimley did observe a ritualized behavior that great whites practice in order to avoid deadly disputes over prey that one shark has captured and another wants. Although we have learned a great deal about shark behavior, says Dr. Klimley, there is much that we do not know. Unfortunately we are destroying these magnificent creatures of the deep through overfishing and degradation of the oceans. Already some populations of sharks have declined steeply. Vividly written by one of the foremost authorities on sharks, The Secret Life of Sharks is a fascinating account of some of the world's most magnificent animals.

Don Luchessi is a silver salesman who's separated from his wife but too Catholic to get a divorce. Hank Norton is a drug company rep who gets four times as many dames as any of the other guys. They are all regular guys who like to drink, play cards, meet broads, and shoot a little pool. But when a friendly bet goes horribly awry, they find themselves with two dead bodies on their hands and a homicidal husband in the wings—and acting more like hardened criminals than upstanding citizens.

Book excerpt: “A quintessential summer read.” —Marie Claire A warm and wonderfully vivid novel about taking second chances—in life and in the sea One summer day on the beach in Florida, two extraordinary things happen to Maeve Donnelly. First, she is kissed by Daniel, the boy of her dreams. Then, she is bitten by a blacktip shark. Eighteen years later, Maeve has thrown herself into her work as a world-traveling marine biologist discovering more about the minds of misunderstood sharks. But when Maeve returns home to the legendarily charming and eccentric Hotel of the Muses where she was raised by her grandmother, she finds more than just the blood orange sunsets and key lime pies she’s missed waiting for her. While Maeve has always been fearless in the water, on land she is indecisive. A chance meeting on the beach with a plucky, irresistible little girl who is just as fascinated by the ocean as Maeve was growing up leaves her at a crossroads: Should she re-kindle her romance with Daniel, the first love she left behind when she dove into her work? Or indulge in a new romance with her colleague, Nicholas, who turns up in her hometown to investigate an illegal shark-finning operation? Set against the intoxicating backdrop of palm trees, calypso bands, and perfect ocean views, The Shark Club is a story of the mysterious passions of one woman’s life: her first love and new love; the sea and sharks that inhabit it.
