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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722719825983,"sku":"9780578877570","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/713929505eacf5e099581c4585e51f46.webp?v=1765096710","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/dead-horse-bay-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
