Sharks Forever: The Mystery and History of the Planet's Perfect Predator
"Explore the latest science about sharks. Did you know that some sharks have friends? Or that there are sharks small enough to swim in a soup can? There are sharks who walk on land and others who make their own light. There are ancient sharks in the oceans millions of years ago, and new species who have just been discovered. Most importantly, did you know that most sharks are fighting for their survival? A deep dive into the lives of sharks––their habitat, biology, habits and personalities. It also looks at the biggest threats to their existence from marine pollution and overfishing to bycatch and shark-fin soup. It goes beyond the bites and shares stories about people who swim with sharks and call them friends. “An important book that’s fun to read... This is the shark book the world needs.”– Julia Barnes, filmmaker “Sharks Forever is informative and offers fascinating insight into not only the science of sharks but their undeniable impact on the human race.”– Madison Shark Girl Stewart, filmmaker “A wealth of fascinating research about sharks...If you weren’t a fan of sharks before reading Sharks Forever, you will undoubtedly come away with a new perspective.

"With their blue blood, big brains and eight arms, octopuses are dramatically different from any other being. Octopuses are masters of camouflage and known for their incredible escapes from tight spots. New research shows that they are highly intelligent creatures, and while they prefer to be alone, they will interact with humans and display unique personality traits. In Octopus Ocean, discover the mysteries and histories of octopuses big and small—their biology, habitat and habits—and explore the top threats to their future, including warming oceans, over-fishing and pollution. Part of the nonfiction Orca Wild series for middle-grade readers this book introduces kids to octopuses all over the world. It discusses octopus habitat, biology and threats to survival, and how scientists, conservationists and young people are working to protect octopuses everywhere. “Mark Leiren-Young’s Octopus Ocean gives young readers a wonderful sense of many aspects of the world of octopuses in a very clear, concise and interesting way. It makes the reader think, and it educates without preaching. This book is a door to the magnificent world of the octopus—a door that, if opened and explored, will bring much joy and connection.” - Craig Foster, star and producer of My Octopus Teacher"

Orcas Everywhere: The Mystery and History of Killer Whales
"Orcas are found in every ocean on the planet. But can they survive their relationship with humans? Orcas Everywhere looks at how humans around the world (Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike) related to orcas in the past, how we relate to them now and what we can do to keep cetacean communities alive and thriving. The book deals with science, philosophy, environmentalism and ethics in a kid-friendly and accessible way. Writer, filmmaker and orca activist Mark Leiren-Young takes us back to when killer whales were considered monsters and examines how humans went from using orcas for target practice to nearly loving them to death. If you know a young person who loves Free Willy or Finding Nemo, they will fall in love with these whales. 'An important and beautiful book.' Susin Nielsen, award-winning author of No Fixed Address “This inviting book will be treasured by kids—a fun way to discover orcas and the sea.” Erich Hoyt, author of Orca: The Whale Called Killer “An amazingly accessible and fun book that explores our relationship with whales over millennia. The reality of their complex and intelligent behavior should give anyone pause in assuming human superiority.” Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada"
