For the past fourteen years, Ann Walker has lived and worked in the back room of her terraced west London home. Continually by her side has been a guiding spirit, a Red Indian whom she and thousands of others already know as White Arrow. Twelve years ago he showed her seven very simple symbols. These she copied onto the back of an old brown envelope and forgot about them until eventually, White Arrow directed her to send the childlike drawings to spiritual elders from a native American tribe in Montana. In 1991, at the invitation of these Indians, she embarked in a journey that was to reveal the meaning of the symbols and to overturn her beliefs about life on this planet. She had hardly settled back in England before White Arrow summoned her to follow a strange ritual. Every evening, after sunset, he wanted her to go out into her garden alone with a notepad and pencil. She was to hold out her hand, and sit, and wait. The revelation to Ann Walker of the secret wisdom of the spiritual elders and of the fact that White Arrow himself is an alien was the beginning of a process of education which would encompass the secrets of life, death and the universe. Ann was to learn she was receiving a message from one of the seven inhabited planets in the universe, Planet Heaven. White Arrow also dictated to Ann an accurately detailed report outlining the Earth's current condition and going on to predict an approaching catastrophe. Most strangely, nineteen pages of formulae and equations are included, brought to her in spirit by Albert Einstein. The report includes a timetable of events, and additional, detailed maps which show areas of the planet that will be rendered incapable of supporting life, and gives percentages of individual species that will be lost, unless the recommendations it makes are acted upon within ten years.

Click flashlights, light lanterns, and get ready to turn electric lights out to celebrate Earth Hour! Wherever you are, you can help our planet. Kids around the world use electric energy to do all kinds of things--adults do, too! From cleaning the clothes we play in, to lighting up our dinner tables, to keeping us warm and toasty when the weather is cold, electricity is a huge part of our lives. Unfortunately, it can also have a big impact on our planet. Earth Hour--a worldwide movement in support of energy conservation and sustainability--takes place each March and is sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF). During Earth Hour, individuals, communities, and businesses in more than 7,000 cities turn off nonessential electric lights for one hour. Across each continent--from the Eiffel Tower to the Great Wall of China to the Statue of Liberty--one small act reminds all of us of our enormous impact on planet Earth.

Senior year was supposed to be fabulous for popular high school girl Ella Briggs—a year filled with dating, shopping and partying, with a kick-ass prom at the end. If only her dad understood this! Instead, when offered the job of a lifetime, he uproots his city-loving daughter and drags her kicking and screaming to an isolated Inuit town near the North Pole—a frozen land of snowmobiles and whale blubber. At her new school, Ella is befriended by Sera, the queen bee of Agloolik High, and life appears pretty sweet again. That is, until Sera turns on Ella over a misunderstanding about Henry, a handsome fellow student. Hell-bent on making Ella miserable, Sera bullies her and challenges her to a series of winter games, for which Ella is completely inept. Despite sub-zero chances of winning and a very high risk of looking like a total loser in front of the entire town, fiery Ella still takes her on. Will training with the lovely Henry teach the hopeless urban girl—who can barely boil water—enough Arctic skills to beat savvy and athletic Sera for good? Igloo High is a humorous novel about finding oneself, friendship and love in surprising places.
