Owen Blaze is an average high school student with something unusual: two specially trained Burmese pythons he carries with him everywhere he goes. When a gang of poachers try to steal Owen's Burmese pythons and kill him, he has to do whatever it takes to stay alive and keep his pythons safe. While evading the poachers and near deaths, Owen meets highly intelligent Trent Hamilton and the big and strong Vincent Fenton, who are after the leader, Andrew Kane. Trent and Vincent take Owen to meet Selena Santiago, a traumatized prodigy inventor with a hideout base and an army of robotics. After providing Owen with a uniform, weapons, and gadgets, Selena brings in Penny McGinnis, a young girl who lost her parents and has been in hiding for two years. Each of them has their own highly trained animals. Working together to capture Andrew Kane and his men, they become the new rescue rangers with animal assistants.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
