Julia is dismayed to learn that Coach Marissa has to leave the Vipers swim team for an urgent family matter.…
Coach Nathan, their new temporary coach, is strict and humorless. He doesn't even let them have Splash Time! And it's not just Julia who's upset -- two of her teammates have even quit the team. So it's no surprise that the team is not enthusiastic when Coach Nathan asks them to put together a car wash fundraiser for the team. But then they learn that there's going to be a big increase in pool rental fees, which means the Vipers may lose practice days, or worse, not be able to swim at all. Julia takes the lead and gets the Vipers organized. Along the way, she learns more about her nemesis, teammate Olivia, and even Coach Nathan. Maybe first impressions aren't always the most accurate.

"The Earth's oceans are on the rise. Since 1900, global sea levels have risen steadily each year to a global…
average of about 8 inches (20cm) today, and they're still rising. By 2100, the sea could climb as much as 14 feet (4.3m) to 32 feet (9.75m). Rising Seas: Flooding, Climate Change and Our New World gives youth an eye-popping view of what the Earth might look like under the rising and falling water levels of climate change. Photographs juxtapose the present-day with that same area's projected future. The shocking images will help them understand the urgency for action. Key issues in today's news will be better understood, such as the 2015 Paris Protocol in which the world agreed to limit temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius (ideally 1.5 degree). This new edition features three new locations, updated information and new features about climate anxiety and reasons to hope for change."

When every aspect of your life is ruled by the whims of the sea, the water can be your best…
friend--and your worst enemy. In 1797, an orphan named Joe is determined to set sail and leave his small town of Herring Cove behind. Here, his life isn't his own: he has to do what grouchy Eli and strict Gram say, because (as they like to remind him), they've given him food and shelter. They order him around and keep secrets from him, in the contents of Gram's medicine bag and in the mysterious sea chest hidden at the back of Eli's shed. The Atlantic Ocean is Joe's ticket to freedom. When he's out on the water, he delights in the ocean spray and rolling waves. But a gentle sea can turn choppy and deadly at any moment, which Joe and his neighbours know all too well. When a sailing ship wrecks nearby during a raging storm, the locals don't dare attempt a rescue. Can Joe stand by and listen to the helpless cries of the exhausted sailors, or should he put his life on the line and brave the merciless Atlantic? Inspired by the true story of the shipwreck of the HMS Tribune and the heroism of a boy known as Joe Cracker, this exciting coming-of-age adventure is brimming with rich detail and captivating suspense.
