Kate Jaimet worked as a daily news reporter on Canada's east coast, covering courts, crime and general assignment for the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal. Now a freelance journalist, Kate drew on her experience of more than a decade out chasing stories to write the novel Endangered.
Hayley has been reporting for her father's newspaper all through high school, and she loves going after the story. When she fails her biology exam, she is willing to forgo her diploma, but then Ms. Cameron offers her a chance to redeem herself: Hayley can help her track down a rare sea turtle off the Nova Scotia coast and get enough credit to graduate. Even though Hayley does not want to leave what seems to be a breaking crime story (lots of blood spattered in a deserted hunting cabin) to accompany Ms. Cameron and her friend, the hippie animal lover Ernest, her father insists. Along the way, Hayley comes to appreciate nature, even while spinning a story: the elusive sea turtle has also gained the attention of poachers and collectors of rare species. Readers will find Hayley an intriguing heroine as she works to identify the enemy, avoid unexpected dangers, and capture the story. Plot lines intersect and twist in unexpected ways, making this fast-paced ecological mystery a great choice. for nature loves, and those, like Haley, who are ready to learn more about the great outdoors.--Melissa Moore Booklist
