    About this ebook

    Heart-stopping adventure on the
    wild side of Seattle!

    How do you rescue a coyote trapped in the elevator of a downtown office building? How do you save an injured seal at the bottom of a cliff with the tide coming in? Fourteen-year-old Shannon and her younger brother, Cody, are about to find out as they spend a summer of breathless, sometimes reckless, often hilarious adventure visiting their uncle Neal at a wildlife center called Jackie's Wild Seattle.

    When Uncle Neal is injured, it's up to Shannon, Cody, and Sage, the rescue dog, to keep the circle of healing unbroken.

    Will Hobbs

    Will Hobbs is the award-winning author of nineteen novels, including Far North, Crossing the Wire, and Take Me to the River. Never Say Die began with the author's eleven-day raft trip in 2003 down the Firth River on the north slope of Canada's Yukon Territory. Ever since, Will has been closely following what scientists and Native hunters are reporting about climate change in the Arctic. When the first grolar bear turned up in the Canadian Arctic, he began to imagine one in a story set on the Firth River. A graduate of Stanford University, Will lives with his wife, Jean, in Durango, Colorado.

      The Long Shadow is the eighth Ian Rutledge mystery by mother and son team Charles Todd, about a Scotland Yard detective in the 1920s still haunted by his time at the Front. The approaching commemoration of the First World War prompted me to return to the series, but getting back into the spirit of the novels took a while this time. Rutledge is either a deeply layered character scarred by the war, or a fruitloop who really shouldn't be working any more. 'Hamish', the spirit of a (very) Scottish soldier on Rutledge's conscience/a voice in his head, is starting to evolve into a completely separate personality, warning the detective of danger and lurking over his shoulder as the 'long shadow' of the war. A great device - Sherlock and Watson in one man - but slightly worrying, and distracting, for the reader who is supposed to 'shadow' Rutledge during the mystery. Are we supposed to care for this enigmatic loner with a split personality?This time, Old Bowels sends Rutledge to a small rural village (as ever) in Northamptonshire, on what could be a case with professional implications for Rutledge's superior. The local bobby has been shot with a bow and arrow in a haunted forest, and the locals think there might be a connection with the disappearance of a young girl, Emma Mason. Is Emma buried in the forest, and did the constable have anything to do with her death? To tangle the web still further, a soldier with a grudge seems to be stalking Rutledge, taking potshots and leaving empty gun shells behind, and a mysterious woman with almost psychic empathy has also latched onto the already beleaguered policeman. Who can Rutledge trust? The paranoia and creeping fear in this novel is almost palpable, with shadows in the night and everybody under suspicion. I found the plot to be rather convoluted, but compelling all the same. The murderer has one too many crimes heaped upon their head in the final chapters, making the final revelation rather silly, but the mix-up of crimes and relationships kept me guessing. And apart from 'drapes', 'walks' and 'sweaters', the narrative and dialogue remain fitting to time and place - recognisably post-war England.

      Shannon and Cody go to Seattle to visit their uncle while their parents are on an extended trip. Uncle Neal works for an animal rescue team and he totes Shannon and Cody along with him and his dog. The kids quickly get into the rythm of rescuing animals, and through the process bond with each other and other people who are interested in the same adventure. This story moves fast, is entertaining and gripping. Don't miss it.
