Book Description
Two siblings battle stormy weather and a hungry crocodile when they’re trapped overnight in the branches of a tree. From bestselling authors Juliet Fry and Scott Peters comes a gripping tale of survival for young readers. On a stormy night in Australia's Northern Territory, teen siblings Jade and Noah find themselves in a harrowing predicament. High up in a tree, they huddle together as the wind howls and the rain pours down. Below them, lurking in the river, a hungry crocodile patiently waits for an opportunity. Jade and Noah may know a lot about crocs and the bush, but right now, they're just scared kids. With no phone service to call for help and the relentless rainstorm making their situation worse, survival seems like a distant hope. Will they make it through the night and out of this dangerous encounter with the cunning crocodile? This is the 15th children's book in the I Escaped Series about brave boys and girls who face real-world challenges and find ways to escape disaster. The short chapters make for easy wins, and the kids’ gripping situation keeps even reluctant readers turning pages to find out what will happen next. Great for kids book clubs and classrooms.

Book Description
A Wolf Called Romeo is the remarkable story of a wolf who returned again and again to interact with the people and dogs of Juneau, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring interspecies dance and bringing the wild into sharp focus. At first the people of Juneau were guarded, torn between shoot first, ask questions later instincts and curiosity. But as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch with local dogs, or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun, they came to accept Romeo, and he them. For Nick it was about trying to understand Romeo, then it was about winning his trust, and ultimately it was about watching over him, for as long as he or anyone could.
