"One of the new tiger cubs has escaped from the reserve!"
When a tiger cub escapes from a nature reserve near Neel's island village, the rangers and villagers hurry to find her before the cub's anxious mother follows suit and endangers them all. Mr. Gupta, a rich newcomer to the island, is also searching-he wants to sell the cub's body parts on the black market. Neel and his sister, Rupa, resolve to find the cub first and bring her back to the reserve where she belongs.
The hunt for the cub interrupts Neel's preparations for an exam to win a prestigious scholarship at a boarding school far from home. Neel doesn't mind-he dreads the exam and would rather stay on his beloved island in the Sunderbans of West Bengal with his family and friends.
But through his encounter with the cub, Neil learns that sometimes you have to take risks to preserve what you love. And sometimes you have to sacrifice the present for the chance to improve the future.

"Storytelling for young readers at its finest—equal parts summer adventure and environmental suspense…[a] love letter to family, friendship, and the natural world." —Kwame Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The Crossover
From New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe comes a beautiful story of friendship, loss, and the healing power of nature in her first book for middle grade readers.
Eleven-year-old Jake's life has just turned upside-down. His father was wounded in Afghanistan, and his mother is going to leave to care for him. That means Jake's spending the summer on tiny Dewees Island with his grandmother. The island is a nature sanctuary—no cars or paved roads, no stores or restaurants. To make matters worse, Jake's grandmother doesn't believe in cable or the internet. Which means Jake has no cell phone, no video games...and no friends. This is going to be the worst summer ever!
He's barely on the island before he befriends two other kids—Macon, another "summer kid," and Lovie, know-it-all who lives there and shows both Jake and Macon the ropes of life on the island. All three are struggling with their own family issues and they quickly bond, going on adventures all over Dewees Island. Until one misadventure on an abandoned boat leads to community service. Their punishment? Mandatory duty on the Island Turtle Team. The kids must do a daily dawn patrol of the beach on the hunt for loggerhead sea turtle tracks. When a turtle nest is threatened by coyotes, the three friends must find a way to protect it. Can they save the turtle nest from predators? Can Jake's growing love for the island and its inhabitants (be they two-legged, four-legged, feathered, or finned) help to heal his father?
Three adventure kids' stories in one brief bundle.
Story 1: Alwyn is a little lonely in his tiny house in the northern part of the country. Snow is everywhere, and he is bored out of his mind. His only buddy, Timber, a husky dog, keeps him company. But he still wants something else, someone to talk to or play with in a different way. That’s why Alwyn builds a snowman and makes it come alive. With a pumpkin on its head, the snowman leads him into dangerous places, and with his snowball-throwing skills, he is a handy colleague on a life-threatening journey. Hear about skeletons, ghosts, a snowman, and other mystical creatures in this action-packed adventure.
Story 2: When an evil mage leaves the city hall and swears in his wrath that he will avenge himself, Quedo and Arnoud are worried. They come up with a solution to the problem though: robots. These friendly giants will protect the civilians in Oracle City from zombies or any other creatures, right? Or will they? Find out more about these robots and what they mean to the people in this city.
Story 3: Oliver the Ocelot loves fish. He tries to catch some, but he isn’t any good at it. It doesn’t help either that another ocelot is mocking him. But when he meets a boy who is fishing with a fishing rod in the same river, he teams up and becomes his best buddy. Together, they go on a journey and face green monsters and dangerous, rocky canyons. Both Oliver and Mason bring out the best in each other’s character as they have fun and are confronted with the dangers of the wild.
