The Water Bearer by Dianne Hofmeyr

It probably makes sense to read this book about water and fire in a steaming hot bath. A nice story set off the coast of Zanzibar all the way to the interior of Zimbabwe. It was a shame that four pages were missing at the very end!

August Heat by Andrea Camilleri

Another Inspector Montalbano Mystery! He discovers another mystery! And it's fun, hot, hot, hot and there is some good Italian food and swimming thrown in for good measure! I love these Camilleri mysteries!

Escape Velocity by Mark Walden

Dr Nero has been captured! And how can Otto do the computations that he is capable of? Another gripping read! I love this series! Very exciting and full of adventure, as well as being quick and easy to read!

The Overlord Protocol by Mark Walden

My librarian has finally got some more HIVE books! Otto and Wing have managed to leave the Higher Institute of Villainous Education, but will the staff at HIVE be able to protect them from afar? Another great read from this series!

Completely Unexpected Tales by Roald Dahl

Two volumes of Tales of the Unexpected, some of the stories were the same as I had read in the previous volume (which was more of an introduction for teens to Dahl's adult stories); all still great, dark, mysterious, funny.
