DOWNLOAD EBOOKLibrarian Sammi Cupertino thought her Klutz Curse was the most perilous thing about living in Eerie Falls, Ontario. At least until the annual gathering of the Puffin Rescue Society comes to their town. Sammi's eccentric grandfather gets to play host to the bird rescuers, so Sammi drafts her cute new girlfriend, Constable Courtney, to help with the awards ceremony. But Sammi and her friends find their small Canadian town suddenly perilous when a rescue society member is pummelled to death. To make matters even more precarious, a mundane author has invaded their magical town. Keeping their fae nature out of the author's next book is challenging every resident. Especially Sammi, who runs the magical bookshop, and has a vampiric cat. All are details too juicy, and too revealing to be put in print by the mundane author. Assisted by her cute new girlfriend, her vampiric cat, and the clueless author, Sammi tries to keep her goose from getting cooked by the murderer. Add in rumours of a ghostly flaming pirate ship, and the mystery takes wing in a new direction. Can Sammi and her friends crack the case, and point the feather of justice before the perp flies the coop? And, can they do so without revealing their magical nature to the clueless author? The Case of The Perilous Puffin is the first book in the delightful Eerie Falls cozy mystery series. If you like sassy heroines, snarky talking cats, colorful characters, and a side of spells with your poutine, then you’ll love Alyn Troy’s otherworldly adventures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEvery spring, puffin parents come back to the same cliff to raise a single baby puffling. And every fall, all of the parents pick one day to leave so that their babies can start taking care of themselves. The pufflings have an instinct to fly toward the moon, which would lead them to the ocean and away from the cliff. But the lights of civilization confuse some of the pufflings, who then end up lost and lonely on land.But then something amazing happens! Kids who live on Iceland's Westman Islands look for those lost pufflings in town every September. They keep them overnight in little houses they have made for just this purpose, and then take them to the Sea Life Trust. The pufflings are checked out by the team there, and most of the pufflings are healthy enough to be released to the ocean. In the fall of 2019, children on the Westman Islands rescued over 7,500 pufflings! Follow along as Lundi the puffling gets lost and then saved, based on the true child heroes of Iceland!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFifty years ago, a young ornithologist named Steve Kress fell in love with penguins. After learning that hunting had eradicated their colonies on small, rocky islands off the coast of Maine, he resolved to bring them back. So began a decades-long quest that involved collecting chicks in Canada, flying them to Maine, raising them in coffee-can nests, transporting them to their new island home, watching over them as they grew, and then waiting--for years--to see if they would come back. This is the story of how the Puffin Project reclaimed a piece of our rich biological heritage, and how it inspired other groups around the world to help other species re-root in their native lands.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPuffins is packed with eye-catching, informative colour photos and features succinct, detailed text written by a knowledgeable expert. Enduringly popular, Puffins are perhaps our most iconic species of bird, and are the most immediately identifiable of seabirds with their decorative bills and clown-like gait. Yet when they take to the air they wheel and turn with great agility and underwater these stocky little birds use short specially adapted wings to propel themselves through the water in pursuit of small fish. Surprisingly little was known about Puffin ecology until recently thanks to their preferred breeding habitat being underground on remote islands or hard-to-reach coastlines. Now Euan Dunn discloses all we have learnt about them as a result of technological advances, and provides a revealing account of their life cycle, behaviour and breeding, what they eat, how they interact in their busy colonies, and where they migrate to in winter. Euan also exposes the mounting threats Puffins face and offers advice on the best places to see them. Each Spotlight title is carefully designed to introduce readers to the lives and behaviour of our favourite birds and mammals.
