    Firefly with aliens, Star Wars without the force . . . and a dash of the American Revolution. "I like a little rebellion now and then...The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all." — Thomas Jefferson Unlike her brother, Saracasi Ocaitchi has always known that her loyalties belong to the ideals of freedom and democracy, not the government of the Alliance, and that protecting those ideals would require a fight. But now that the rebellion she has dreamed about has finally begun, she must come to terms with what that truly means: for herself, for her brother, and for all of the people who will die in the coming war.

      "Sometimes it takes a book like Makoona to remind us just what amazing sights are lurking beneath the surface... It brings the ocean and its life to us... reminding us of its value and what needs to be done." ?Kathryn Fuller, President of World Wildlife Fund

      Welcome to the inspiring story of Binti, a female octopus who lives in the Makoona coral reef, and Kemar, a Cambodian boy who fishes the reef. As a mollusk without a shell, Binti believes she's missing something... but the reef is a dangerous place to search for anything, let alone the shell that will make her complete and let her communicate with the spirit-fish. But helped by her friends and a psychedelic octopus who speaks in Grateful Dead lyrics, the search is on. Fifteen-year-old Kemar, a boatperson fleeing the Khmer Rouge, fishes the waters around Makoona where he crosses the path of a strange octopus and befriends both a Vietnam vet and an old American mechanic who claims she was once a world-famous aviatrix. Makoona?will make you laugh out loud as it transports you into the world of the coral reef and takes you on an island adventure that never loses sight of environmental concerns, personal fulfillment, friendship, self-awareness, and the tenets of eco-literature that Morano created in his unforgettable first novel,?A Wing and a Prayer. Don't miss more adventures in Out There, Somewhere (#3) and Flocks of One (#4)!

          "Morano does something few writers do. He provides us with a unique perspective - that of the exploited animal. In doing so, he demonstrates just how profound and pervasive humans' effect on the ocean is." Roger Rufe, President of The Ocean Conservancy

          For nearly one hundred million years, the coelacanths have lived in the ocean depths. They are living fossils, humble and powerful. They have hunted, borne young, and prayed to the spirit-fish. But for the canth called Maputa, all that is about to change. SeaTopia is an aquarium run by the man-tide. The Director, Dave, is an empathetic man who tries to help both humans?ocean whiz-kid, Kemar, and neglected teen, Samantha?and fish, but no measure of kindness can turn a prison into the sea. Out There, Somewhere?continues the outstanding focus on environmental concerns, personal fulfillment, friendship, self-awareness, and the tenets of eco-literature that Morano created in his unforgettable first two novels,?A Wing and a Prayer and?Makoona. Like those,?Out There, Somewhere is a children's book for adults and a young adult novel with universal themes, a story that you can enjoy by yourself or share with the entire family. Don't miss more adventures in Flocks of One (#4)!
