Starred Review. Whimsical curiosity begets a quixotic odyssey and troubling revelations about plastics polluting the seas in former high school teacher and journalist Hohn's charming account of what he learned searching for 28,800 rubber bath toys lost at sea in 1992. His curiosity, prompted by a student's quirky essay, begins in 2005 around Sitka, Alaska, where yellow "duckies," frogs, turtles, and beavers washed up after three-story waves buffeted a container ship traveling from China to America. Hohn, a senior editor at Harper's magazine, eventually tracks more rogue ducks bobbing up from isolated Gore Point, Alaska, to Maine beaches. The author's quest leads him to a research vessel trawling for degraded plastic in Hawaiian seas, to the Chinese factory where the toys were manufactured, aboard a container vessel traversing the same route as the original ship (a particularly hair-raising section), and finally to the high Arctic to study the science of oceanic drift. Packed with seafaring lore and astute reporting, this enthralling narrative is the Moby Dick of drifting ducks.

Imagine being on a remote island with three other hunters and wild ducks flying all around you! The atmosphere is alive with gunfire, honking ducks, rain and thunder. Between the four of you, you shoot down 24 ducks and then you guide your dog to retrieve the falling ducks. As in real hunting, the fallen ducks are not all dead, only wounded, and may swim or hide away. Guide your hunting dog to find them, but keep the leash tight -- if two dogs go after the same duck at the same time, it's a dog fight! Select from six, real hunting locales in North America, pick and train your dog in the four essential retrieve commands, choose your camo, gun and place your decoys. Then, go hunting.
