Ray will need every ounce of his drone skills and outdoor smarts to recover his missing bear cub before poachers get to it first. When his orphan bear cub goes missing, sixteen-year-old drone enthusiast Ray McLellan decides to use his airborne spying skills to find it. Little does he know that an evil bear-poaching gang operating in the surrounding forest has drones, too - and a cold welcome for those who would attempt to take them down. As a New York City kid recently forced to move to the Great Bear Rainforest by his parents, Ray doesn't have a lifetime of outdoor instincts or familiarity with the valley and its wildlife. That makes him very different from his grumpy grandfather, who - like his new school friends - berates his city-kid uselessness at every opportunity. Can Ray use his drones and smarts to prove himself, find his cub, and expose what's going on in the woods?
Everyone knows that boys are falling behind in education. Largely
left out of the discussion are parents of boys, who are most aware
that their bright, eager sons hit an invisible wall somewhere near
fourth grade, after which they become disengaged, discouraged, and
disaffected. There are dozens of books on underachieving boys, but
most parents brave enough to lift one off the shelf are instantly
intimidated by the footnotes, graphs, case studies, and
academic-speak addressed almost entirely to educators. What about
the average guilt-ridden, frustrated mother or father of an
underachieving boy? Jump-Starting Boys is the first book on the
market that empowers parents, helping them reclaim the duties and
rewards of raising their children and navigate the influences of
school and media. Filled with reassurance and support, the authors
turn fear and guilt into can-do confidence. Through easy tips and
action list sidebars, this is the most practical, readable book on
the topic.
