A very odd romance, of sorts, involving quite-young Alice, a married hangman, Captain Ffrench (a not-as-young handsome officer), and Uncle Frank's head. A bit more gore than I expected, but a satisfactory resolve.
Jacobia (Jake) lives in Eastport, Maine, with her husband and son. She fixes up her old house, solves murders, and dispenses house repair tips. The author lives in Eastport too, oddly enough. Looks like an interesting place to visit. The books did not grab me, but it is number eleven in a series, so it must grab someone!
Falcon has more adventures with her dragon in this sequel to Falcon's Egg. I really like the characters but the plot seems silly. Will read the first book, just to see if it has a better story.
Two teens with cancer crack-wise. I enjoyed this book very much, but it going on the "Professional Reading" shelf in our middle school library. Parent Permission slips required. So is the "Perks" novel.
