River Heights is hosting a duck derby to raise funds to install new benches by the pond in the park. Nancy, Bess, and George want to help, so they ask Mayor Strong if they can number the rubber duckies that will be used in the race. It’s a big responsibility, but they know they can do it. Then the box holding the duckies goes missing from Nancy’s doorstep! The girls need to find the duck-napper fast, but there’s a flock of suspects. Where do they even start without even a squeak of a clue? Will the Clue Crew figure out who flew off with their rubber duckies before the Mayor finds out they’re gone?

Book excerpt: As a city boy, all Philip Dixon wanted to be in life was a farmer, but achieving that ambition would be a lot less straightforward than he had anticipated! Starting work on a farm at the age of fifteen, Philip finds himself handling some highly temperamental bulls, meeting some very ‘witchy’ women and encountering mysterious country ways. Later he gets married, raises a family, acquires his own farm and, along the way, becomes part of the Round Table team that invented the charity plastic duck race! Enjoy Philip's story as he makes progress in his farming career in the north east of England from the 1960s to the mid-1980s, and meets some remarkable characters, many of whom belong to an age all but lost to us. Philip's story will, at times, have you laughing out loud and weeping tears of sympathy, and will lift your spirits as you read how he overcomes all life’s setbacks to make plans for a brave new future. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial}

Book excerpt: Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the Year A revelatory tale of science, adventure, and modern myth. When the writer Donovan Hohn heard of the mysterious loss of thousands of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on Arctic science and geography. But questions can be like ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. Hohn's accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. Moby-Duck is a journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst weather imaginable. With each new discovery, Hohn learns of another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry comes from and where it goes. In the grand tradition of Tony Horwitz and David Quammen, Moby-Duck is a compulsively readable narrative of whimsy and curiosity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Have you heard people say that if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, then it is a duck? You need to be aware that ducks are not necessarily what they seem...” For adults with too much imagination and children who’ve mentally grown up, The Fabulous Duck Derby is a novel in which the leading characters are highly intelligent ducks in a world dominated by us, white apes – or ‘huminks’. Ducks have always been intelligent; it’s just that they were bright enough to keep quiet about it. But after centuries of keeping quiet they finally crack – or quack. They’re doing it for themselves, heroically overcoming all obstacles, and in doing so display the quality formerly known as humanity. The novel’s hero is Elvis, a silver duck making a living as an Elvis Presley impersonator on the fading Northern club circuit. He hits Millbridge, a glowering relic of the Industrial Revolution, during the politically-correct Duck Awareness Week, but despite his obvious talent he can’t hack it at the club. The place is on its last legs and in suspicious hands too. Paid off with a cheque that bounces and beaten up when he tries to collect his money, Elvis loses his voice and is forced to seek alternative employment. A letter from his mother – ducks are inveterate letter-writers – gives him the idea of organising a duck derby with real ducks. After all, everyone’s seen races with plastic ducks – and the ducks just keel over and float on their sides. Attacked by a shadowy political party who are criminally opposed to duck rights and keen to isolate and exploit the secret to duck intelligence, Elvis and his friends fight to stage their race and to change humanity’s view of the world. Written in a style of Nick Park (of Wallace and Gromit) meets Kurt Vonnegut, The Fabulous Duck Derby is a humorous and inventive novel that will appeal to big kids – and clever little ones.

Book excerpt: “[A] gracefully narrated, arrestingly illustrated myth originating from the Karuk people” about a coyote who steals fire and shares it with the world (Publishers Weekly). There was a time when the animals had no way to keep warm in the winter, because the miserly Yellow Jackets kept fire for themselves at their mountaintop home. But wise old Coyote devised a plan to trick the Yellow Jackets and steal a burning ember. As the Yellow Jackets give chase, Coyote passes the ember to Eagle, who then passes it to Mountain Lion, and so on. The animals work together, using their individual strengths and abilities, to get the ember down from the mountain where it is kept inside a willow tree. This delightful retelling of the legend from the Karuk people of Northwestern California is enlivened by beautiful illustrations and includes an afterword by Julian Long, a member of the Karuk tribe.
