Survival in nature is a constant struggle that depends mostly on instinct...but sometimes on plain old luck. In these ten short stories, animals face dramatic moments when instinct makes the difference between life or death. A young mountain goat trusts his unproven agility in a daring leap. An eagle uses her powerful wings in a desperate bid to live. An osprey's fishing luck turns against him. Will their instinctive choices mean survival for these and the other seven animals in the stories? Exciting action and adventure for ages 9-12.

How are we shaped by where we live? This collection of personal essays recounts the time the author spent on a small acreage in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Shiregreene provided many opportunities to observe nature day by day, season by season. Animal tracks in the snow revealed others who shared this place, and springtime songs gave clues to returning birds. Trails led through nearby fields as crops ripened under the summer sun, and a starry dome glittered above this 'dark sky place' in fall. The author's responses to each season's discoveries became woven into her identity and her awareness of what matters.
