Tanisha, a twenty-something student at Brooklyn Law School and a member of the activist group Goose Watch, is committed to saving them, a mission she understands will be a challenge. She finds a partner in Marty, a cranky but charming 73-year-old New Yorker who happens to own a sailboat, their means of getting out to Kennedy Airport, the site of the one of the goose kills. Marty is initially unmoved by the birds' plight; he confesses, \"I'm not sure that I care for geese.\" However, he is angry about Kennedy Airport's construction, which led to the destruction of the local environment, a once-vibrant aquatic community (and Marty's \"playground\" as a child) reduced to a \"dead zone.\" Marty also remembers the disruption that the airport caused at school as the first jets took off from the airport; the jets were so noisy that they drowned out the teachers, starting what became known as jet-stop teaching. Eventually, Marty comes to care for the geese as much as Tanisha, and is inspired to hatch various plans (some of them hilarious) to save them, a dedication that gets him into trouble with the law and links the pair with Don, a former duck hunter now haunted by the death he once caused. Will Marty, Tanisha and Don be able to save the geese?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0578877570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578877570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mighty Hamster Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"John Dyson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982145650943,"sku":"9780578877570","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c452366a-9750-4a46-9a51-53c6be049c27.jpg?v=1683259491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dead-horse-bay-john-dyson-9780578877570","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
