Agetta Lamian is a housemaid in eighteenth-century London, where magic and science mix with horrifying results. As a comet, named Wormwood by Agetta's scientist master, plummets toward the city, she becomes a pawn in deadly games of intrigue over a magical book. But angels, gargoyles, and resurrections cannot keep this burdensome novel moving. Even Davina Porter's skills are no match for unlikable characters, wandering story lines, a passionless battle of good versus evil, and a continually dismal tone. Fans of Taylor's previous book, SHADOWMANCER, may be pleased, but the average listener will be unsatisfied. J.M.S. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

PreS-Gr 3 -Dawnie Allyne's first album presents eight of her original songs performed in folk, folk/rock, classical/pop, and country musical styles. She performs all the vocals, accompanies herself on acoustic guitar, and is backed up by a great band with electric guitar, drums, bass, and keyboards. The performance of vocals and instruments is very good. In "Silly Critter Talk," listeners meet critters on the street, in outer space, and under the sea. While "Little Caterpillar" climbs to the top of a tree, children learn to count. In "The Adventures of Chipee Chipmunk," Chipee is a furry superhero. "Teeny Tiny Tadpole" keeps wishing to be a full-grown frog. The child in "Catch Me (If You Can)" prefers hanging with animals rather than people. "Ouch! Don't Pet the Bumble Bees!" teaches children that not everything that looks pretty and soft is safe. "Dorothy Dolphin" encourages children to follow their dreams. "Dawnie Says" is a variation of the classic game, "Simon Says." "Little Caterpillar" and "Catch Me (If You Can)" are being played on Sirius Satellite Radio's Kid Stuff channel. A solid first album for a seasoned performer. -"Beverly Bixler, San Antonio Public Library, TX"
