Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10023 comments You don’t have to be nine years old to enjoy this school story by Patrick Ness. You can be sixty-nine and be laughing out loud on the first page, and many times thereafter. 5★s for Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody and looking forward to the sequel.

Inept surfing accountant Downward Facing Doug relies on his Dawn Patrol surfer friends for protection from beach bullies, but he gets his revenge. Satisying. 😊

Eruption by Michael Crichton

4 stars
Disaster novel. Crichton's unpublished manuscripts completed by James Patterson.

Lion Dancers by Cai Tse
The story could have been finetuned a little more in this MG graphic novel, but the details of lion dancing were impeccable. The author is a lion dancer with the Chinese Youth league of Australia.
