Synopsis

Eleven-year-old KATTY and her younger brother JAKE are the 'Enviro Kids'. MUM and DAD do their parenting duties by leaving the kids go on a trip into space! More time for Mum to cook her chocolate brownies in peace.
COMMANDER CARLOS flies the space shuttle, zipping in and out of the burning beaming sunrays streaming through the holes in the ozone layer. The Aliens, KLIPP and KLOPP, frown disapprovingly at the human intruders invading their space. Katty and Jake are on a mission. The battle is on against the filthy pollutants. MISS VIOLET, the science teacher, eagerly searches to stop the pollutants. Katty and Jake spacewalk to squirt gooey gunk to fill in the ozone layer holes. The Earth's air is too hot and sweaty... Scorchio!
Katty is one small girl in a very big world. There are a handful of suspects and a lot more baddies. All aboard the journey of discovery, where nothing is as it seems!

The Earth is overheating; time is running out. Seriously! The ozone layer needs fixing; the Sun is scorching our planet. A mystery story that is not actually a mystery. Get it? Oh, you defo will get it.
After returning from the Amazon rainforest, Katty and Jake join their schoolteacher, Miss Violet in a perilous journey into space to investigate the damage to the ozone layer. Readers get various perspectives including that of pollutants and a couple of nosey aliens. With these elements, the story, like the first, has many aspects that are enjoyed by children in the current market. Again, the biggest strength of the author's writing is the conviction behind how children can be part of shaping a better and greener future. The educational value of the story is clear and therefore could easily be used in schools to teach children the science around the ozone layer, greenhouse gases and global warming.
Overall, it's a fun story about family but also about standing up for the environmental issues you believe in.

    At a time in antiquity when most of Europe was covered with forests and wandering tribes, Mexico had already developed complex civilizations, beginning with the Olmecs and followed by the Maya, a civilization with advanced knowledge of medicine, engineering and astronomy. The Maya calculated the precession of the equinoxes and cycles of the Pleiades, on which they based their year, since they believed they had come from that constellation. The last, and perhaps most famous, great civilization before the arrival of the Europeans was the Aztecs. 
    With so many ancient peoples whose influence, beliefs, and modifications to the landscape extend to the present day, Mexico is fertile land for legends, ghosts, surprising places, and mysteries. A belief in communing with things that lie beyond (stars, constellations, and life after death), mysticism, and apparitions are intimately woven into the colorful fabric of the Mexican nation. 
    As for the United States, many Americans think the land has always had a dark side and a strange side. Monsters and ghosts lurk in its woods and old houses, and strange monuments that may be from a forgotten civilization puzzle local investigators. All the while, the early inhabitants themselves were always superstitious, as evidenced by history’s most famous witch trials. 
    Canada has the reputation of being a boring place, but dig a little below the surface, and you’ll find a different Canada, a stranger Canada, one of murder, mystery, and paranormal experiences. The stories that follow will show that Canada, far from being a dull, staid nation where nothing much happens, is an epicenter of the mysterious. 
    Mysterious North America: Mysteries, Legends, and Unexplained Phenomena across the United States, Mexico, and Canada offers a vast compendium of strange, unexplained, and just plain odd stories across North America’s various regions.

    Welcome to The Confident Ummah, Adab Series. We were inspired to create books for our children and ummah so they can refer to them throughout their early years and better themselves as Muslims. 
    The first 10 years of a child's life are the most impressionable. This is when their foundations are formed and so it is the best time to encourage positive traits, so they are equipped with the tools to live healthy and balanced lives through which they worship and serve Allah. 
    Each storybook has been designed to focus on a main principle, followed by related Qur'an/Hadith quotes. The moral of the story section highlights the core lessons from the storybook. Finally, we have included an activity page which is designed to encourage your child to implement the story's lessons. 
    Our stories are based on questions our children ask us and scenarios we have come across in our daily lives whilst homeschooling them.

    Once upon a time there was a family: a mommy, a daddy, a sister and a brother. One day, the Daddy Dude, who happened to be an English professor, had an idea. He would teach his young children about story structure by asking them to come up with three random details. Then, he would make up a tale on the spot, using those three details. Thus: Three Detail Stories was born! At bedtime, Itasca and River choose the details, and Daddy spins the yarns. This collection includes a guessing game put on by squirrels, a story about how training with feathers improves the skills of a local baseball team, and a Halloween tale about mysterious seeds that grow a vampire.
