Books with title The Atlas of Endangered Species

Each title in this colorful series discusses an issue that either is part of students' lives or is likely affecting someone they know. Presenting multiple sides to current issues, each title distinguishes itself through its dedicated focus on concerns that today's middle and high school students deal with regularly, such as underage drinking and obesity.

As precise and unpredictable as Agatha Christie, as compelling and suspenseful as Patricia Cornwell, award-winning author Nevada Barr consistently holds her place on the New York Times best-seller list. Her seven Anna Pigeon mysteries have endeared her to countless fans. Along with a team of fellow park rangers, Anna is on summer fire patrol on Georgia's Cumberland Island National Seashore. So far her only break in the monotony has been her part in helping to protect the endangered loggerhead turtles as they swim ashore to lay their eggs. Then a drug interdiction airplane crashes as a result of sabotage, and she finds herself at the center of a murder investigation. When Anna is attacked, she begins to suspect that she has been added to the list of endangered species. Narrator Barbara Rosenblat deftly guides listeners through the plot's twists and turns as Cumberland Island exposes its dark, greedy secrets. As the astute, level-headed Anna ferrets out clue after clue, everyone's a suspect, and danger lurks everywhere.
