About this book

Piper Super Cub thinks today will be just an ordinary day of flying food into the Cariboo logging camps - until an emergency call comes and Piper is enlisted to rescue twins lost in the woods in Cariboo country. Flying overhead, they spot the twins but one of them is injured and they're being stalked by a hungry cougar. After a dramatic rescue, Piper has to fly the injured twin through a thunderstorm to the hospital in Williams Lake. When the day is over, Piper thinks maybe routine flying isn't so bad after all.

La petite pieuvre qui voulait jouer du piano

Wajdi Mouawad

Lorsqu'elles naissent dans les abysses sous-marins, aucune ride ne plisse le front des jeunes pieuvres aux yeux doux. Ces dernières ont cependant tôt fait d'intégrer l'école de la sévérité, où elles apprennent le froncement de sourcils grâce auquel elles acquièrent la crédibilité et le respect de leurs pairs. Au grand désespoir de ses parents, le jeune Hector n'arrive cependant pas à adopter un regard austère, lui dont les yeux émerveillés sont agrandis par le rêve de devenir pianiste depuis qu'il a effleuré les touches d'un instrument découvert dans l'épave d'un galion espagnol. Sur les conseils du poisson-chat, il fuit donc les moqueries des siens et entreprend un voyage périlleux jusqu'au grand Milieu, là où personne n'ose s'aventurer, afin de rencontrer le Grand Cétacé, que l'on dit susceptible de l'aider. Hector termine son périple dans le ventre de la baleine, où le célèbre Glenn Gould a trouvé refuge afin d'échapper à des spectateurs trop bruyants. Le grand homme accepte cependant de l'initier à son art et lui permet au passage d'acquérir la confiance en lui nécessaire pour retourner auprès des siens, auxquels il fait découvrir que la musique a le pouvoir de changer le monde ...

Llama tails

Diane Ganzer and Sammy St. Croix

"Ricky is a young llama with a yearning to see what lies beyond the borders of his farm. With his animal friends, he decides to find out, despite what the wise owl and old ewe tell him, that he has a role to fulfill on the farm. It is during this adventure that a summer storm breaks out, nearly destroying the farm as he knows it. Lost on a river, it is Ricky's chance to prove that being an adventurer is less important than being responsible. Unfortunately, he learns this lesson the hard way, when his own life as well as the lives of his friends are in peril, and there looks to be no way out of his predicament. What will it take to bring Ricky home safe? In the aftermath of the tornado's fury, will there even be a home for him to return to?"--
