Dr. Mackenzie Winifred Elizabeth Wright Conner (Mac), salmon researcher extraordinaire, has returned to the Norcoast research facility after barely surviving her discovery of the "true" nature of the Dhryn. Her friend, Dr. Emily Mamani, is still working with the mysterious Ro, who may be the key to stopping the Dhryn's murderous attacks. And Mac is struggling with a bit of post-traumatic stress as she tries to adapt to her former life. In the first book, Mac wanted nothing more than to study her salmon, but the universe simply refused to leave her alone. The same holds true in book two. An earthquake devastates Norcoast, and Mac finds herself drawn back into Interstellar Union issues once again. This time, she is brought to an I.U. gathering to help research how to contact the Ro and stop the Dhryn. But are the Dhryn truly evil, or simply responding to the demands of biology? And are the Ro really the saviors some believe them to be? There is a lot to love about this book. Czerneda's aliens are delightful as always, particularly the acerbic & lovable Myg, Fourteen. The author's own background in biology serves her well as she designs one species after another, from the terrifying metamorphoses of the Dhryn to the unique offensive capabilities of the Trisulians. Her talent for writing fully-developed, fascinating species makes the book worth reading all by itself. In terms of plot, Migration suffers a bit from second-book syndrome. At the end of book one, the Dhryn have been loosed upon the galaxy. Planets have been scourged of life. Mac lost her hand to a Dhryn and barely escaped with her life. Yet in the beginning of book two, we see very little about these events. As a result, the pacing feels slow. It takes a while to get Mac out of Norcoast and back into the midst of things. In book one, when we didn't know what was happening, the author had more leeway to develop the characters and build suspense. This time, I was a bit impatient. Likewise, with the Species Imperative books being a single ambitious story, things are left unfinished at the end. And yet I found the ending of Migration more satisfying than the ending of Survival. The threat to humanity and the I.U. is revealed to be even worse than before, but another, more personal plot point is brought to resolution. Migration is a good book by itself. Having also read the third book in the series, I can say that the trilogy is a both a highly satisfying story and a very impressive feat by the author.

The ongoing joke, captured perfectly, is that school students are so gross and unruly and school teachers so self-righteous and oblivious that nothing changes when the students at Dementedyville's elementary school are all gradually turned into zombies. No one notices, except our protagonist and his best friend, who have accidentally brought this danger to the school in the form of Zombiekins. Zombiekins is a strange stuffed toy that Stanley bought at a yard sale, a sale at Number 4 Shadow Lane, the spooky house on the top of the hill owned by Widow Imavitch. She warned Stanley to read the instructions that came with Zombiekins, but he, of course, never did, and now he's worried about a lifetime of detention for turning his schoolmates into monsters. The humor is never subtle or sophisticated, but it's still fun and right on target for elementary and middle readers. That's when Stanley realized he had a BIG problem: No matter how slow-moving Felicity was, as long as he stayed put she'd eventually catch him. But he couldn't run away without getting in trouble for being out of his desk. Felicity kept lumbering in his direction . . . gnashing her teeth . . . clawing the air. . . . Soon she was just a few lurches away. . . . Stanley weighed his options: Mauled by a zombie? Or yelled at by his teacher? He shrunk down as small as he could make himself at his desk. He decided he was more afraid of Mr. Baldengrumpy.

I’ve been taking my time reading Birdology by Sy Montgomery, savoring the stories, peck by peck or is that page by page. Everyone that I know that has read this before me, bird lovers all, seem to pick their favorite chapter and bird to exclaim about. Some enjoyed reading about feeding baby hummingbirds (very interesting and hard work), some liked learning more about the birds of prey, what it means to study falconry and others couldn’t believe the lineage and sheer size of The Cassowary. The Adventures with a Pack of Hens is a real hoot! For me, it was the crows all the way. My dad loved crows and he often spent hours and hours just watching them; at least he did when he retired and actually had time to, well, “sit and watch the crows”. He always said they were smart and loved to imitate their call, “Caw, Caw, Caw”. I believe he was able to communicate with those that frequented his yard. He knew they held meetings and were that they were very family focused. Montgomery really gives us a picture of this bird that is loved by some and hated by others. One guy goes so far as to say, “They’re like rats with feathers!” He’s not alone in this opinion. Crows are one of the bird groups that are in no danger of extinction. A roost can contain over 200,000 birds. One, on the Delaware River had 500,000. One at Ft Cobb, Oklahoma, had more than 2 million. That’s more than even Alfred Hitchcock could imagine. But crows are fascinating and if you take the time to read this book you’ll see why. Montgomery is called “Part Indiana Jones and part Emily Dickinson.” by The Boston Globe. I intend to read more of her books.
