Book Description
Nine-year-old Phineas William Walsh has an encyclopedic knowledge of the natural world. He knows that rockfish have swim bladders that can burst and push their intestines out their butts, and he knows that barnacles have the longest penises in the animal kingdom. He'¬"s obsessed with animals; it'¬"s practically all he talks about, and he spends all his spare time watching the Green Channel or researching obscure facts on the internet or in books. And he'¬"s worried sick about what humans are doing to the planet and its other animals. But although he seems to know absolutely everything about the animal world, what he doesn'¬"t know is why his granddad had to die or why Lyle the bully always picks on him or why his parents can'¬"t live together. He misses his grandad terribly, and he hates to see his grandmother '¬ ; the only person who understands his eco-worrying '¬ ; so sad. He misses his dad, too, and wishes he could see him more, and that the separation didn'¬"t make his mom so lonely '¬ ; though he sure doesn'¬"t like her talking to creepy Brent. And things only get worse when Phin'¬"s mom, desperately worried about his animal obsession, takes him to see a rather unsympathetic psychologist. When his Grade 4 class gets a pet frog '¬ ; a White'¬"s Tree Frog from Australia '¬ ; it becomes the perfect focus for all Phin'¬"s worrying. He can'¬"t bear to see Cuddles penned up in a cage so very far from his natural habitat just for the amusement of humans. It'¬"s just another example of how cruel and self-centred humans are. And so Phin and his best pal, Bird, are spurred to action.

The Deathless
Author: Keith R. A. DeCandido
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1534432507
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
As if Ring Day weren't enough to make Buffy Summers anxious (she can't even afford one of the less expensive silver bands), the Slayer has her hands full trying to figure out why an average split-level house in Sunnydale has all the vampires spooked. When she arrives at the library to discuss this new development with Giles, a package he's received from an old folklorist in Russia reveals what's going on: The stars are properly aligned for an attempt to resurrect Koschei the Deathless, a long-dead evil sorcerer. So while her classmates are busy choosing rings to demonstrate their school spirit, Buffy must figure out how to keep someone from reviving Koschei and, should she need to resort to plan B, how to kill him again. A little investigating soon leads Buffy and the gang to the necromancer who originally killed the sorcerer, an immortal Russian sorceress named Yulia Dryanushkina, who can control vampires (which explains their reluctance to pass by her place of residence). When the crew pays Yulia a visit, she assures them that with Willow's assistance, she would be able to kill the sorcerer again should he be revived. Neither Buffy nor Willow are particularly comfortable with aligning themselves with the necromancer, but they have no other choice when, twenty-four hours later, the vampires start behaving strangely . . . and half the senior class goes missing.
