2021 Red Maple Award — Shortlisted As far-fetched as her father’s plan sounds, sticking to it is easy for Harbour — until it isn’t. Fourteen-year-old Harbour is living in a tent in a Toronto ravine with her dog, a two-month supply of canned tuna, and an unconventional reading list. She’s not homeless, she tells herself. She’s merely waiting for her home — a thirty-six-foot sailboat — to arrive with her father at the helm. Why should she worry when the clouds give her signs that assure her that she’s safe and protected? When her credit card gets declined, phone contact from her father stops, and summer slips into a frosty fall, Harbour is forced to face reality and accept the help of a homeless teen named Lise to survive on the streets. Lise shows Harbour how to panhandle and navigate the shelter system while trying to unravel Harbour's mysterious past. But if Harbour tells her anything, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Book Description
Stories of massive data breaches litter the 24-hour newsday headlines. Hackers and cybercrime syndicates are hitting a who's who of banks, retailers, law firms, and healthcare organizations: companies with sophisticated security systems designed to stop crime before it starts. They're also hitting companies that thought they were too small to matter. So how do cybercriminals continue to breach the defenses of the big companies--and why do they go after the small ones? And, most importantly, how can companies of all sizes protect themselves? Cybersecurity expert Mark Sangster deftly weaves together real-life cases in a thrilling narrative that illustrates the human complexities behind the scenes that can lead to companies throwing their digital front doors open to criminals. Within a security context, deep social engineering is the newest and biggest means of breaching our systems. Sangster shows readers that cybersecurity is not an IT problem to solve--it is a business risk to manage. Organizations need to shift the security discussion away from technology gates alone toward a focus on leadership, team behaviors, and mutual support. Sangster punctuates his eye-opening narratives with sets of questions businesspeople at all levels need to ask themselves, facts they need to know, and principles they need to follow to keep their companies secure.

Book Description
Charlotte struggles to find her twin brother after the rest of her family is killed in the tragic Halifax explosion. No Safe Harbour is set in the months before and after the December 6, 1917 Halifax explosion, which was the largest man-made blast in history until the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The explosion levelled most of the city and sent shards of glass and burning debris flying for miles. It left thousands dead, blinded or homeless. Suddenly orphaned, Charlotte turns to her diary to help her cope with the events that killed her entire family — leaving her older brother, still fighting in the trenches of WWI, as her only surviving relative. This is an affecting story of loss and recovery, powerfully told by award-winning author Julie Lawson.

Book Description
She thought she’d found Mr. Right—until it all went murderously wrong—in this true-crime tale with “all the elements of a grand tragedy” (Library Journal). Elizabeth Lochtefeld was a glowing, charismatic, and driven businesswoman who’d built a small fortune in Manhattan before settling into a new life in one of America’s most elite resort communities. In her mid-forties, she planned to dedicate the rest of her life to charity—and to marry and finally start a family of her own. When Lochtefeld met thirty-seven-year-old Tim Toolan—a tall, handsome Columbia graduate and Wall Street ace who’d achieved a VP position at Smith Barney—she thought she’d found Mr. Right. She told friends she was in love. She hinted at marriage. But soon she saw past the golden-boy facade, finding a deeply troubled man with a history of erratic behavior—a man given to violent mood swings who’d been fired from his job after trying to steal an $80,000 Roman bust from a Park Avenue antiques show. And two days after she ended the affair, she lay dead on the floor of her Nantucket cottage . . . “Poignant [and] truly chilling.” —Kirkus Reviews Includes photos
