BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
When his town holds a fishing derby, Wally goes into business selling worms. But his friends enter the bait business too, and soon the town is crawling with worm sellers. Chaos reigns. The young entrepreneurs dig up every garden in town to find bait, the fishermen load up on worms, and soon the fish have eaten their fill without swallowing one hook. With all the townsfolk overheated by the mess in their yards and every fisherman catchless and ready to blow, Wally has to find a way to restore order before the disaster turns into Loon Lake's last fishing derby.
