An odd duck of a book following a father and son duo stuck in the middle of a fantasy world being manipulated and exploited in what seems quite like a contemporary "real" world. Solid world building, interesting characters, surprisingly dark things handled with DWJ's deft whimsy. I forgot how much I enjoy it.

Thoroughly cinematic fantasy-mystery-action story gussied up in a duster. Fun listen.

Inadvertently picked up a supernatural teen drama echo of The Westing Game. Different setting, era, players, but still a will-based game surrounding a murder mystery. Quite entertaining, not too teen drama-y.

A middle grade high seas adventure that becomes a 90s-style Angel Unaware trope mystery featuring a good-natured and apparently immortal pair of best friends helping folk. Features the banter, mysteries, and riddles familiar from Jacques' better-known Redwall series, but it does not quite reach the same heights of the best thereof. Still thoroughly enjoyable.

Delightfully absurd and slightly infuriating. Kind if what you want in a Star Trek Adventure Choice book.

A perfectly fine Roald Dahl book. Weird. Weirdly bloodthirsty. Fine.

Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief
Light mystery, with a friendly aspect, given the periodic inclusion of the author as an amiable history keeper for the famous thief and his exploits. This, the Magnetic Press publication, is also beautifully illustrated by Vincent Mallié. A larger book, with thick,smooth pages, it is a mentally and physically satisfying read.

Fabulous romp with phenomenal backgrounds and hilarious expressions. Mr Selim is a firm favorite, and Delilah is no slouch.

The series continues as a delightful, albeit somewhat pretentious reference-wise. Solid in the genre and style.
