    About this ebook

    "An invaluable companion to any child spending a seashore holiday." — New York Herald Tribune
    Familiar burgess characters Danny Meadow Mouse, Jimmy Skunk, and Reddy Fox explore every nook and cranny of the shoreline and learn first hand about the habits and habitats of spider crabs, sea cucumbers, sand eels, and that strangest of little fishes — the sea horse.
    Veteran storyteller and nature lover Thornton W. Burgess provides fascinating information to young readers as he describes coastal areas along the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way he weaves the area's many life forms into an entertaining tale that's also an illustrated guide to the seashore's natural history.

      What a touching story full of quirky, dynamic characters. Willow's world is turned upside down when her parents are killed in a car accident. The story is not afraid to delve into her grief. Before her parents died, she was a kid who was odd and genius, didn't fit in. After, she finds herself with no place to go and no one to care for her. Mai, the sister of the sullen teen who has the appointment before hers at the social workers office, becomes her friend and when she discovers Willow has no one, she gets involved. It seems everyone is transformed to some degree in this story, like the lot they change into a thriving garden even the disenchanted social worker Dell. I was surprised and touched by this story.

      This is the 8th book in the Nightside series by Simon Green. It followed much in the pattern of the last book. Which is to say, it was okay.In this book someone has promised the Unnatural Inquirer (a Nightside tabloid) exclusive rights to a DVD recording from the Afterlife. The Unnatural Inquirer hires John Taylor to find it when it goes missing. They send Betty Divine along with him to document his findings along the way.This book was just okay. The series seems to have lost some of it's interest and urgency with the completion of the over-arcing story in "Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth". I am still confused why the series didn't end with that book. The only thing that is left mysteriously unanswered is where Walker's power is coming from now that the Authorities are dead.This seemed like another transition book. Really I would only think you'd need one of those to wrap up the first main story. Somehow all the characters in this book seem tired and bored. Betty Divine was a pitiful sidekick. She was clingy and unhelpful and painfully uninteresting. Many of the quips that were so amusing up to this point are starting to seem overused. The creativity that amuses me so much was there, but not to the degree it normally is.Overall this book was a quick, well-written, and fun read...but it was also a bit disappointing as we wait for something big and interesting to start happening again. Hopefully the next book will be better.

      This is one of my favorite dragon series, and I read a lot of dragon books! The story is brilliantly written and put together. Book three was my favorite so far.
