What would you do if you came face to face with a Large Yellow
Waxwing, Wild Turkey or Weather Loach? Who would you call if Common
Wall Lizards or Giant Hogweed crept into your back yard? Alex Van
Tol can help. In Aliens Among Us, she identifies more than 50
species of alien animals and plants that have established
themselves in British Columbia. With the help of colour photographs
and Mike Deas’ illuminating illustrations, Van Tol exposes the
invaders, then explains how they got here and what they’re doing
to the local environment. A former middle school teacher, Alex Van
Tol has written eight books for young readers. For Aliens Among Us,
she has harvested the knowledge of museum biologists to alert the
next generation of responsible environmentalists. Her list of
invaders includes Purple Loosestrife and Yellow Perch, Norway Rats
and American Bullfrogs, Northern Snakeheads and Zebra Mussels, to
name just a few. This readable and alarmingly informative book will
help young people prepare for the invasion, and arm them with the
tools to stop the spread of unwanted aliens in British Columbia.
