MechanimalsChris Tougas

There once was a farmer who had lots of animals that got swept away by a tornado.The twister left behind a mountain of scrap metal and machine parts. And a very sad farmer.

When a tornado leaves a farmer with a heap of scrap metal and animals, his neighbors are sure it’s all over for him. But the determined farmer refuses to admit defeat. His plans are big, and

when his neighbors dismiss them with the words, “When pigs fly,” they grow bigger still. The farmer sets to work to turn that scrap metal into some rather surprising creatures. Mechanimals will help all of us believe in our dreams, despite what the neighbors may say.

Chris Tougas is a writer-illustrator who loves dogs, the great outdoors, writing fun stories and making art. He has studied art and animation in both Canada and the United States, and has worked in film animation at Disney and other studios. Chris lives in Victoria, British Columbia.

Illustrated by Dave Whamond

Justine and her pooper-scooper crew try to get their school librarian back where they need her to be—in the library.

Meet Justine McKeen, the Queen of Green. She talks a little too much, bosses a little too much, and tells the truth, just not all at once. She’s trying to save the planet, one person at a time,

and when she decides to get something done, it’s a lot of fun.

In Justine McKeen, Pooper Scooper, the third book in the Justine McKeen series, Justine and her friends clean up the dog poop in the park across from the school board’s offices in an effort to get the attention of the superintendent of schools. She hopes the efforts of her crew of cheerful pooper scoopers will help the superintendent see that bringing their school librarian back to work is the right thing to do.

Sigmund Brouwer is the bestselling author of many books for children and young adults, including the Orca Echoes Howling Timberwolves series. Sigmund loves visiting schools and talking to chil-dren about reading and writing.

Seeing OrangeSara Cassidy

Illustrated by Amy Meissner

Leland’s artistic gifts help him find the courage he needs.

Seven-year-old Leland has trouble writing, but he loves drawing. He so dislikes his teacher that he conjures up Delilah, an imaginary seeing-eye dog to help him into class each day. When a

neighborhood painter recognizes Leland’s gifts as an artist, Leland grows more confident about the world as he uniquely sees it. And when his family’s cat goes missing, it is Leland’s keen observation skills that lead to finding him. Leland’s newfound confidence helps him both confront and sympa-thize with his teacher, who only wishes Leland could be a bit more focused.

Sara Cassidy has worked as a youth hostel manager, a tree planter in five Canadian provinces, a clown and a newspaper reporter. Her poetry, fiction and articles have been widely published, and she has won a Gold National Magazine Award. She lives in Victoria, British Columbia, with her three children. Leland also appears with his family in Sara’s two novels in the Orca Currents series, Slick and Windfall. For more information, visit www.saracassidywriter.com.

Will Hunter ever be able to trust humans?

Juvenile Fiction

HunterEric Walters

As with Eric’s previous book, Catboy, this book was edited and revised with the help of students across the Toronto District School Board. While Eric Walters is listed as the author, Hunter had hundreds of student co-authors. Many thanks to the students of the TDSB!

Hunter knows humans are dangerous to himself and the other cats of his colony. He avoids them, as all wild cats should. So when a neighborhood boy starts showing up in Hunter’s junkyard to

chase away dogs and bring the colony food, Hunter keeps his distance. But a new condo develop-ment puts the whole colony in danger, and Hunter soon realizes the only way to save his family is to put his trust in the boy.

The story of Catboy told through very different eyes.

Between Heaven and EarthEric Walters

D J is David McLean’s eldest grandson, so it stands to reason that he be the one to scatter his beloved grandfather’s ashes. At least that’s how DJ sees it. He’s always been the best at every-

thing—sports, school, looking after his fatherless family—so climbing Kilimanjaro is just another thing he’ll accomplish almost effortlessly. Or so he thinks, until he arrives in Tanzania and everything starts to go wrong. He’s detained at immigration, he gets robbed, his climbing group includes an old lady and he gets stuck with the first ever female porter. Forced to go polepole (slowly), DJ finds out the hard way that youth, fitness level and drive have nothing to do with success on the mountain—or in life.

Lost CauseJohn Wilson

Steve thinks a trip to Europe is out of the question—until he hears his grandfather’s will. Suddenly he’s off to Spain, armed with a letter from his grandfather that sends him to a specific address in

Barcelona. There he meets a girl named Laia and finds a trunk containing some of his grandfather’s possessions, including a journal he kept during the time he fought with the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War. Steve decides to trace his grandfather’s footsteps through Spain, and with Laia’s help, he visits the battlefields and ruined towns that shaped his grandfather’s young life, and begins to understand the power of history and the transformative nature of passion for a righteous cause.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, John Wilson grew up on the Isle of Skye and outside Glasgow without the slightest idea that he would ever write books. John is addicted to history and firmly believes that the past must have been just as exciting, confusing and complex to those who lived through it as our world is to us. Every one of his seventeen novels and six nonfiction books for kids, teens and adults deals with the past. John lives in Lantzville, British Columbia.

Jump CutTed Staunton

Spencer loves movies, but real life is boring, right? When his late grandfather’s will reveals the tasks he wants his grandsons to undertake, Spencer thinks he got screwed. He’s not going to

France or Spain or Africa. He’s not even getting a cool tattoo, like his younger brother. No, he’s going to Buffalo to get a kiss from an ancient movie star. Gross. And he’s supposed to film it. Grosser. But Spencer hasn’t bargained on Gloria Lorraine, star of the silver screen back in the day. Gloria has big plans—plans that involve her granddaughter AmberLea, a gun, a baker who might be a gangster, some real gangsters and a road trip to Nowheresville, Ontario. After being shot at, jumping into an icy lake and confronting some angry bikers, Spencer finally realizes that real life can be as exciting (and dangerous) as reel life.

When he isn’t writing, Ted Staunton has a busy schedule as a speaker, workshop leader, storyteller and musical performer for children and adults. His previous books include the well-loved Green Applestreet Gang series, as well as Hope Springs a Leak and Power Chord. Ted lives in Port Hope, Ontario.

Ink MeRichard Scrimger

Bunny (real name Bernard) doesn’t understand why his late grandfather wants him to get a tattoo. Actually, Bunny doesn’t understand a lot of things, so it’s good that his older brother Spencer

is happy to explain things to him. But this is a task Bunny is supposed to do on his own, and nobody is more surprised than Bunny when, after he gets tattooed, he is befriended by a kid named Jaden and adopted into Jaden’s gang. The gang hangs out at a gym, where Bunny learns to fight, but when it finally dawns on him that the gang is involved in some pretty shady—and dangerous—business, Bunny is torn between his loyalty to his new friends and doing what he knows is right.

Close to the HeelNorah McClintock

No one is more surprised than Rennie to hear that his late grandfather, whom he hardly knew, has left a mission for him to fulfill. Rennie is to fly to Iceland and deliver a message from

beyond the grave, but when he gets there, nothing is simple or straightforward. For one thing, Brynja, the teenage daughter of the family he’s staying with, is downright hostile. Her father Einar, who is to be Rennie’s guide in Iceland, is preoccupied with looking after his elderly father-in-law, an old friend of Rennie’s grandfather. Bored and a little bit annoyed, Rennie explores the town and becomes aware that the family is dealing with more than their grief over Brynja’s mother’s death. Before he realizes what is happening, his curiosity puts Rennie in grave danger, with no one to trust and no one to save him except himself.

Webb’s task takes him to the Canol Trail in Canada’s Far North, where he finds out that there are much scarier things than the cold and the occasional grizzly bear.

Last MessageShane Peacock

Adam has a good life in Buffalo: great parents, a cute girlfriend, adequate grades. He’s not the best at anything, but he’s not the worst either. He secretly lusts after Vanessa, the hottest girl

in school, and when his dead grandfather’s will requires him to go on a mission to France, Adam figures he might just have a chance to impress Vanessa and change his life from good to great. When he gets to France, he discovers he has not one but three near-impossible tasks before him. He also discovers a dark and shameful episode from his grandfather’s past, something Adam is supposed to make amends for. But how can he do that when he barely speaks the language and his tasks become more and more dangerous?

Teen Fiction

Three Little WordsSarah N. Harvey

S ixteen-year-old Sid barely remembers his birth mother and has no idea who his father was. Raised on an idyllic island by loving foster parents, Sid would be content to stay there forever,

But when a stranger named Phil arrives on the island with disturbing news about his birth family—including a troubled younger brother—Sid leaves all that is familiar to help find the sibling he didn’t know existed.

What he discovers is a family fractured by mental illness, but also united by strong bonds of love and compassion. As Sid searches for his brother, gets to know his grandmother, and worries about meeting his biological mother, he realizes that there will never be a simple answer to the question, Am I my brother’s keeper?

Rowan both desires and fears his dead sister’s continuing presence in his life.

Teen Fantasy

RedwingHolly Bennett

Rowan is the sole survivor when his entire family is struck down by the plague. Alone and grief-stricken, Rowan ekes out a living by playing music on his button box in the small towns and

villages of Prosper. He lives and travels in his family’s old caravan, half starved and in despair. One day, he finds he has competition: a young man playing a violin. Rather than make an adversary, Rowan suggests they travel and play together, but he regrets his offer when he finds out that Samik is from the Tarzine Lands, beyond the volcanoes, and is being pursued by a vengeful warlord. And that’s not all. Samik also claims to have the Sight—and what he sees (and hears) is Rowan’s dead sister, Ettie. As they travel from town to town, they form an uneasy alliance, which gradually evolves into a friendship that will be tested to its limits when Samik is captured.

Holly Bennett is the author of Shapeshifter, The Warrior’s Daughter and the Bonemender series, all published by Orca. She is also a freelance editor and writer working from her home office in Peterborough, Ontario. Her husband and three sons are all musical, so it seemed inevitable that she would eventually write a book about a boy musician.

SummaryAfter being suspended from the force on suspicion of corruption, Detective Rick “The Spider”

Montoya knows his career as a police officer is over. It doesn’t matter that he was framed. Even if

Rick can prove it was a setup, the mark is still on his name, like a stain. Not only that, but Rick’s

drinking has driven away Angela, his wife and best friend. Their marriage is in shambles.

Rick returns home from five months away working on a farm. He discovers someone living in

his basement apartment. but before he can find out who it is, the house goes up in flames. Two

people die in the fire. One is Rick’s landlord, Cheryl. The identity of the other victim isn’t so

clear. At first many people believe it’s Rick who has died. After all, it was his suite.

The night of the fire, Rick goes over to the house to check things out. He’s attacked and

knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he’s really interested in figuring out who set the fire

and killed two people. He’s pretty sure he was supposed to be one of them.

As Cheryl’s daughter, Susanna, grieves the loss of her mother, the number of suspects mounts.

A young electrician; an insurance guy; Rick’s own wife (an ex-cop turned insurance investigator);

one of his colleagues; even Rick himself. Independent of the investigating officers, Rick weaves a thoughtful web of possibilities as he

sorts through different people’s connections to the people who died in the fire. The conclusion?

Susanna arranged to have her mother killed so she could collect on her sizable insurance policy.

Rick is offered a job as an insurance investigator, and he and Angela take one more crack at

making their marriage work.

Edge of FlightKate Jaimet

Can Vanisha find the courage she needs to save her friend?

Edge of Flight is the toughest rock-climbing route Vanisha has ever faced. She has one last chance to conquer it before she moves to Vermont to start university. University is a sore

point for Vanisha, who yearns for a career in the outdoors but feels pressured by her mother to earn an academic degree. Trying to put school out of her mind, she heads to the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas with her buddies Rusty and Jeb for a final weekend of climbing and camping. Deep in the woods, they stumble on an illegal marijuana plantation, and the gang of bikers who guard it. When Jeb is shot by the bikers, Vanisha alone must get help—and to do so, she must climb Edge of Flight. As she confronts her insecurities on the cliff face and in the woods, Vanisha gains a new resolve and the self-confidence to choose her own path in life.

What if you stood up to the bullies?

Colin is tired of school bullies and other students’ refusal to speak up or “rat” on the real troublemakers. When Colin does speak out against a couple of school thugs, they post an

embarrassing photo of him on a social networking website. Colin makes some new enemies in the process but also a few new allies, including the vice-principal, Mr. Miller. One of Colin’s new unwanted allies, though, is Jerome, who is selling weapons to kids at school for “self defense.” Colin threatens to turn Jerome in but backs off, tired of his growing reputation as the school rat.

When Jerome is shot and killed, Colin regrets not speaking up earlier. Jerome’s killer is now known but has not been located by the police. When the police show up, Colin tells them what he knows, and while he realizes that he has some enemies, he also has some real admirers as well.

Shallow GraveAlex Van Tol

Ouija boards and restless spirits combine to solve a violent murder.

When they’re hauled into the office in the wake of a stupid prank, schoolmates Elliot and Shannon have no idea that hiding the principal’s Smart Car in the woods was the least of

their problems. As part of their punishment, the pair is tasked to clean up the school boathouse—the same one that’s been shuttered for close to twenty years. Should be an easy enough task, they figure: chuck all the broken stuff, organize whatever still works and get the weekend underway. But when Shannon talks Elliot into making a Ouija board, things take a turn for the horrifying. When the pair accidentally unleashes a dark force, they find themselves caught up in a mystery that must be solved if they are to have any hope of escape.

Alex Van Tol admits to having made more than one Ouija board in her lifetime, but has never, to her knowledge, unleashed any angry demons. She dreams up creepy plotlines in her seaside home of Victoria, British Columbia. Which, incidentally, she shares with a ghost. Visit her on the Interwebs at www.alexvantol.com.

Themes: spirits, murder, crime

Dead RunSean Rodman

Sam is in the race of his life, and if he gets caught, he may never cross the finish line.

Sam wants to win, no matter what it takes. Bicycle racing is his sport and he has a gift for it—but his attitude keeps getting in the way. After his teammates give up on him, Sam is offered a

fresh opportunity. Viktor, an aging Olympic racer, will coach him and maybe give him what he needs to be a winner.

But there’s a catch: Sam has to work as a bike courier at Viktor’s company. The work is dangerous and intense, fighting traffic in the inner city to make deliveries at breakneck speeds. Then Sam is assigned by Viktor to the mysterious “dead run,” delivering untraceable packages for an unknown client. Soon Sam is racing away from the law—and risks losing everything.

Sean Rodman lives and works in Victoria, British Columbia. He is the child of two anthro-pologists, who gave him a keen eye for observation and a bad case of wanderlust. His interest in writing for teenagers came out of working at some interesting schools around the world. In the Snowy Mountains of Australia, he taught ancient history to future Olympic athletes. Closer to home, he worked with students from over 100 countries at a non-profit international school. He currently works at the Royal BC Museum. For more information, visit www.srodman.com.

Evil Behind That DoorBarbara Fradkin

Who will uncover the chilling secret locked behind the boarded-up cellar door?

When softhearted handyman Cedric O’Toole agrees to help Barry Mitchell renovate his farm-house, he finds himself facing old fears. Not only did Mitchell bully Cedric all through school,

but his life has been troubled ever since. Now, just out of prison, he’s broke and his parents have gone missing, leaving a cloud of suspicion hanging over his head.

But when Barry warns him not to touch the boarded-up door in the cellar, the ever-curious Cedric can’t resist. The small storage room, obviously unused in years, contains jars of preserves, barrels of dried apples and a pile of small bones. As he sets out to discover who died and how, Cedric uncovers a tale of violence, deception and abuse. And he learns just how far Barry will go to keep a tragic family secret from coming to light.

The GoddaughterMelodie Campbell

Stolen jewels, a cross-country chase and a reluctant mob goddaughter make for a whole lot of laughs.

G ina Gallo is a gemologist who would like nothing better than to run her little jewelry shop. Unfortunately she’s also “the Goddaughter,” and, as she tells her new friend Pete, “You don’t

get to choose your relatives.” And you can’t avoid them when you live in Hamilton and they more or less run the place.

When Gina bumps into Pete at the Art Gallery Gala, sparks fly. So do bullets, when her cousin Tony is taken down by rival mobsters from New York. It turns out Tony was carrying a load of hot gems in the heel of his shoe. When Gina is reluctantly recruited to carry the rocks back to Buffalo, the worst happens: they get stolen. Pete and Gina have no choice but to steal them back, even though philandering politicians, shoe fetishists and a trio of inept goons stand in their way.

It’s all in a day’s work, when you’re the Goddaughter.

Fleeing to an old family cabin on a remote lake, mother and daughter prepare to live off the grid. And when Joe tracks them down, Sandra must come up with a contingency plan of her own.
