EXTINCTION WARRIOR:

One Girl's Round-the-World Quest to Find Her Parents

and Save Endangereds

In this thrilling blend of 'Spy Kids' meets 'Zootopia' with a dash of 'Jurassic Park' intrigue, join clairvoyant 12-year-old Luki Sloan, her arctic fox Mig, and the android Tuk on a quest against the Red Dragon gang to rescue her scientist-detective parents from the clutches of the notorious animal trafficker White Wolf! Set in the year 2155, this inspiring fantasy sheds light on the perils of climate change and the extinction crisis while shining a hopeful light on a seemingly insurmountable situation. Luki's parents are scientist-detectives for World Endangered Animal Police Protection (WEAPP), and go missing while hunting White Wolf and his gang in the Bering Strait. Once Luki activates Tuk, there is only one thing to do—masquerade as traffickers to try and find them and White Wolf. They lie to Luki’s adoptive Indigenous grandparents and set off from their remote home in the Arctic to travel the world, collecting a diverse assortment of endangered animals to entice the Red Dragon leader. They eventually locate White Wolf and gain access to his superyacht where disaster strikes. Their travels take Luki, Tuk and Mig from a cyclone in Tahiti into the aftermath of a hurricane in Puerto Rico; they face an attack by an Eagle owl in Russia, a porcupine attack in the Transylvanian Alps, the stinging bites of driver ants in the Serengeti, and the possibility of pirates in the Mozambique Channel before they make their way to White Wolf's superyacht in the Bay of Bengal near Myanmar— where they confront a series of shocking discoveries. As the story unfolds, readers learn about Partula snails, Puerto Rican crested toads, cinereous vultures, African wild dogs, radiated tortoises, pangolins, tarsiers and a variety of other animals while gaining insight into indigenous Arctic culture, diverse environments and acquire a greater understanding of world geography from maps throughout the text. A story for all ages, but an excellent choice for kids ages nine to fourteen, this story weaves real science with a fantastic vision of a future world in which a 12-year-old wrestles with friendship, loneliness, fear, loss and her own strengths.
