Survival in nature is a constant struggle that depends mostly on instinct...but sometimes on plain old luck. In these ten short stories, animals face dramatic moments when instinct makes the difference between life or death. A young mountain goat trusts his unproven agility in a daring leap. An eagle uses her powerful wings in a desperate bid to live. An osprey's fishing luck turns against him. Will their instinctive choices mean survival for these and the other seven animals in the stories? Exciting action and adventure for ages 9-12.

Autorenporträt
While Gillian Richardson has lived across southern Canada, time spent in the Prince Edward Island countryside kindled her passions for nature and science. They inspired this former Teacher-Librarian and writing instructor to write 20 children's books, including both fiction (novels, picture books, chapter books, short stories), and nonfiction. Bestsellers, Kaboom! Explosions of All Kinds, and 10 Plants That Shook the World, won international awards. Animal characters came to life in fun ebook adventures, Ollie Buggins, Detective? and Take Me With You. A collection of short stories with nature themes became An Instinct for Survival. Now, casting a look back, this collection of personal essays for older readers-Seasons at Shiregreene?recounts the Prince Edward Island experience.
