The Avian Adventurers Series

The Avian Adventurers are back! Birdwatching is never boring with Michael and Jet involved. This time they fight construction that might destroy the woods where yellow warblers live.

An adventurous read for 7-to-10-year-olds about forging long-lasting friendships in this chapter book series about a junior birdwatching club.

In the second book in the Avian Adventurers series, Michael and Jet discover that developers are planning to destroy a piece of land where yellow warblers are nesting. They are also concerned that brood parasite cowbirds have laid eggs in the warblers’ nests, possibly affecting the songbirds’ babies once all the eggs hatch. 

Michael and Jet work together—even though Michael is healing from a soccer injury—to stop the construction and fight to save the birds and the woods. At the same time, they learn even more about how nature works and why humans shouldn’t interrupt animal species’ natural behaviors.

Now in paperback! Birdwatching! Borrrring, right? Not to these avian adventurers from Maynard Elementary as they fight a snowstorm to save a rare snowy owl.

An adventurous read for 7-to-10-year-olds about forging long-lasting friendships in this new chapter book series about a junior birdwatching club.

Michael, the star of the soccer team, is about to kick his first practice shot when he hears a noise from behind him. Jet, a bird nerd and member of the Junior Birdwatching Club, appears and shows Michael what he would have missed by being so singularly focused on the ball—a rare snowy owl on the goal post. While they watch, the owl captures a rat and devours it.

The next day, a hoard of birders arrive and Michael thinks he may never get his soccer field back. But Jet has discovered that the owl is not well and the Junior Birdwatching Club enlists Michael to help get the bird help during a snowstorm.

Michael promised his parents he’d be home before the snow started, but with a hurt owl, will he? Join Michael and his new friends as they use all their talents and knowledge to rescue the snowy owl.
