Out There, Somewhere (Eco-Adventure #3)

$12.00
John Morano

"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)!

Features a special introduction by Roger T. Rufe, Jr., President of the Ocean Conservancy

Environmental/conservationist themes with an uplifting, hopeful message

Makoona (Eco-Adventure #2)

$12.00
John Morano

"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)!

Features a special introduction by Kathryn Fuller, President of World Wildlife Fund.

My favorite part of the book was definitely Sarah?s companions, all of whom stole the show??it was quite heartwarming to see them forge a strong bond of friendship and loyalty to each other and to Sarah. ? Si Ning Yeoh for?Readers' Favorite?(4 Stars)

Sarah discovers that not everything in the valley is as magic as she might've wished ? especially the nearly illiterate wizard, the mouse-sized dragon, and the warrior who can't stand the sight of blood. Being hunted isn't helping, either. Will Sarah survive this new life of hers, and can she make it home? And, more importantly, will she ever be the same again?
