Babies have been dieing on a remote island, Dr. Farcett tries to figure out why. Oh, and someone is bombing London railway stations.

Words I Had To Look Up:

Pootling (pg. 107) -- Move in a leisurely unhurried way.
Tarimond Island (pg. 110) -- A fictional location, but in the search I learned about St. Kilda island which looks like an interesting place.

Good Night, Irene

Urrea, Luis Alberto
I was surprised to see this is the second book by this author that I have read. I thought the writing was a little rough, but it maybe was my reading that sucks a bit. The story though, that was very good. I enjoyed reading it very much. I didn't know about the doughnut ladies that near to the combat!!

Into The Beautiful North

Urrea, Luis Alberto
A Mexican girl recruits her friends to cross the border into the U.S. to find her father, among others, and bring them back to her village to defend them against bandits. A wonderful book. There were some very humorous parts. And sad ones, too.

I've read The Snow Queen (Hans Christian Andersen) several times, so this was an interesting take on the story.
