Has Chris Dearing finally broken his family's run of bad luck? Find out in this hilarious, high-stakes companion to Mine! After a lifetime of bad luck, Chris Dearing is sure his family fortunes have finally turned around. With the help of some friends, he's reclaimed his granddad's old land in Dawson City, Yukon, and is adjusting to life with his new foster parents. While he waits for his dad to get out of jail -- and get sober -- Chris turns his attention to his next challenge: finding the gold that he knows is somewhere on his family's claim. What's standing in his way? A few things: a) he doesn't know a thing about gold mining, and it turns out there's a lot more to it than a pan in a creek; b) Lucy, the attack goose guarding the local junkyard; c) the fact that Family Services keeps getting in the way; d) two Filthy Rats trying to swindle Chris's dad out of the gold; oh, and last but not least, e) the rumours that Chris's grandfather didn't actually find his gold -- he stole it. The stakes are high and the hijinks even higher in this touching, witty companion to Mine!

Up a Creek, With a Paddle is an intimate and often humorous memoir by the author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, James W. Loewen, who holds the distinction of being the best-selling living sociologist today. Rivers are good metaphors for life, and paddling for living. In this little book, Loewen skillfully makes these connections without sermonizing, resulting in nuggets of wisdom about how to live, how to act meaningfully, and perhaps how to die. Loewen also returns to his life’s work and gently addresses the origins of racism and inequality, the theory of history, and the ties between the two. But mostly, as in his life, he finds rueful humor in every canoeing debacle—and he has had many!
