Half spy stories, half tales of revenge, this new collection from the author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels illustrates that transparency is paramount and forgiveness is restorative, reminding us that, in the end, the high road is often the better one for all involved.
A really nice mix of fiction and non-fiction short stories. – DC
City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende
Joining his
fearless nature journalist grandmother on a dangerous expedition in the Amazon
to track a Yeti-like creature known as the Beast, 15-year-old Alexander draws
on the strength of a totemic spirit guide on a remarkable journey of
self-discovery.
This is a good book filled with fantasy, adventure, and an
unexpected ending. - MH
