Synopsis

It’s time for animals to take fate into their own paws! The
Endangereds is the first book in a thrilling new adventure
series by world-renowned environmentalist and Emmy-nominated
host of Xploration Awesome Planet Philippe Cousteau and
award-winning TURBO Racers author Austin Aslan.
Innocent animals are in trouble: temperatures are climbing,
tides are rising, and nature is suffering. Someone needs to step in to rescue animals
from extinction. Someone needs to turn this mess around, before it’s too late.And that someone is . . . the Endangereds, the unlikeliest heroes you’ll ever
meet—a superstrong polar bear, a pangolin with a genius for engineering, an
extremely sarcastic narwhal, and an orangutan with a big dream.
Together, these four daredevils are determined to save
endangered species across the globe, no matter what the risk. Rappelling into
an underground cavern to save the day? No problem. Looping video footage to
sneak through buildings unnoticed? Got it covered. Opening a doorknob? Okay,
pretty hard without thumbs. But don’t worry. No matter what it takes, the
Endangereds will get the job done.
But when two of their friends get kidnapped by a villain with
a dastardly agenda, the team finds themselves up to their snouts in trouble.
Can the Endangereds save the day? Or will this villain put humans and animals
alike on the extinction list? The A-Team meets the animal kingdom in the
first book in the thrilling new adventure series from the host of Xploration
Awesome Planet Philippe Cousteau and award-winning author Austin Aslan.Supplemental Enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Goodreads review by Gene on October 15, 2021

uch as a narwhal, an orangutan, black-forest ferrets, and long tailed pangolins, which was an animal I don’t think I’d ever heard of. It starts out with the animals meeting, and how they’re being held somewhere, more realistic, like a zoo, but not for public. Later the polar bear finds out that the......more

Goodreads review by Rod on December 24, 2022

This is a fun book. Very, very definitely written for younger readers, but it's obvious a lot of thought went into this. It's a little bit of a cheat, as this is not the origin story you're expecting -- except for introducing us to Nukilik the polar bear. Minor Spoiler: When she first meets the rest......more
