"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

Told in a 'Disneyesque' style, A Wing and a Prayer will have you smiling and laughing as you're introduced to wonderful characters but also important themes, especially the environment.

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.

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)!

Flocks of One (Eco-Adventure #4)

$15.00 – $22.00
John Morano

"...that?s why John Morano?s books are important. He puts us in the minds of some lesser-known, perhaps unloved creatures. The octopus we all know, of course, but how many of us spare daily thoughts for a coelacanth or a petrel?" ? Andrew Sharpless, President of Oceana
Glyde, Gonzo, and Azul have one thing in common: they?re all flying as flocks of one. Other than his father, Lup?, Glyde has never seen a pure Guadalupe petrel, so when he hears of a similar petrel in danger, he implores his father to join him in a daring rescue attempt. Along the way, Glyde is joined by Gonzo, an endangered ivory-billed woodpecker, Zomis, the last remaining passenger pigeon, and a barred owl who speaks only in Shakespearean English. Meanwhile, after losing his mate and being smuggled out of the shrinking Caatinga, Azul finds himself in the care of a celebrated conservationist. However, not everything is as it seems, and the Spix?s macaw must fight to return to the place he knows best. But with a disappearing habitat and without a mate, can his journey lead him home? The John Morano?Eco-Adventure Series?is back with a fourth installment that asks the question: What does it mean to be home in a changing world? As the climate warms and habitats are lost, will the man-flock help the birds before it's too late, or will these?flocks of one become flocks of none?

Features a special introduction by Andrew Sharpless, President of Oceana
