Global warming, conservation, the exotic Arctic -- topics that kids are
interested in and can get excited about -- make this latest addition to
the bestselling series a winner.
The Screech Owls have been invited to the Inuit community of
Pangnirtung, high in the Arctic Circle in Canada's newest province,
Nunavut. For the Owls, it is a magical world, filled with
twenty-four-hour daylight, golf among the icebergs, feasts of raw meat,
dogsleds, and the magnificent polar bear. They have come to play in a
four-team tournament that features Zeke Zebedee, the greatest hockey
talent ever to come out of the Arctic. But they also land smack in the
middle of a story of international intrigue, global warming -- and
threatened species.
