Quote-leftFor some reason I can't give this book a star rating. Yet another Facebnook problem!
An enjoyable light read. I liked the way it carrried on from the first book. It goes to show you can pick these books up at any time and still take up from where you finished.Quote-right

Quote-leftA beautifully written book that drew me in immediately and kept my interest all the way through without a great deal happening - Great characterisation means you don't miss a fast moving plot; in fact I think the story benefits.Quote-right

Quote-leftThis is a delightful series. If you have the opportunity to listen to one of these as an audio, it will set the stage better because you will read future books with the accents of the characters in mind.Quote-right

Quote-leftEnchanting style and voice once again. Not overly challenging,but it does gently tackle some of the big issues. I tried to read a “real” book first, but got sideswiped by life and retreated to this lovely book. Wonderful characterisations, and probably less action than the first book.Quote-right

Turn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey. According to legend, the Jersey Devil prowls the Pine Barrens and soars above the treetops in the dark of night. As eerie as this might seem, there are things in the Barrens that are even more frightening and dangerous. And there are monkeys. Lots of monkeys. more
