Ra-Kit's Initiation (A Prequel)

How does an orphan kitten grow up to be the last living magic cat? A prequel to the Zak Bates Eco-Adventure series.

Ra-Kit claims to be the last living magic cat. But where did Ra-Kit's magic come from? Is she really 500 old, or is that just part of the mythology she's woven for herself? What did Ra-Kit have to do to be initiated into the secret clan of magic cats?

Dominion Over All

Despite running his own zoo, Zak Bates considers himself pretty normal for a 13-year-old. Visited by Ra-Kit, a scruffy feline with some serious catnip issues, he's ill-prepared for the life-or-death assignment that follows. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Zak must represent the Animal Kingdom at a United Nations Conference on Global Warming, convince the world government to stop poisoning the planet, broker interspecies peace, and diffuse an impending, bloody rebellion - just a bit harder than algebra!

Endangered

Protecting the planet: a thankless job and one that has no breaks! For Zak Bates and his magical friends, the next eco-adventures is usually right around the corner. In Zanesville, Ohio, a dangerous menagerie has escaped from a private preserve, and the situation threatens to spiral out of control. Francis, a spirit bear from British Columbia is being held captive, and, to free him, the Eco-Adventurers will need to align with Chatters, a white (knight) squirrel.

Ghost Elephant

In plundering the planet's treasures, men may gather riches, but more profound wealth is lost...Nia Gaines is the newest member of Zak Bate's Eco-Adventure task force - only she doesn't know it yet. When Nia's parents drag her along on a business trip to China, the source of their affluence soon becomes clear: ivory, prized since ancient times for its beauty...

Junkyard Dogs

As the head of an eco-team that's been tasked to overcome global warming and protect endangered species, Zak Bates is as busy as ever.
