Title : A Seal Called Andre : The two worlds of a Maine Harbor seal
Author : Harry Goodridge and Lew Dietz

I really enjoyed reading this book . One of the reason why I enjoyed reading this book is because it is a true story about a human relationship between Harry Goodridge and a harbor seal by the name Andre . Another reason why I enjoyed reading this book is that it all takes place in Rockland , Maine . The relationship between Harry and Andre the harbor seal lasted over fourteen years . I would recommend this book to anyone, it is a book worth reading .

Title: Untold Tales

Author: William J Brooke

A refreshing rendition of traditional fairy tales, Brooke gives his characters new spins without giving them bad attitudes. In the first story a princess kisses a frog, and when the prince becomes more concerned with matters of his kingdom than he does for her, she longs to have her frog again. Next a beauty and a beast are not who they seem to be, and its up to the beast to fix a beauty of a mess. The author then gives an interesting slant on the stories of Snow White, and Rapunzel. Each story was captivating in its own way, and his plot twists were very amusing.

In the final story though, I felt that he made an inconsistent twist, and this twist was a bit too strange. I liked his imagination, but I felt his last story just didn’t flow.

As a whole, I enjoyed Brooke’s creativity in giving new perspective to old stories. I would recommend this book to everyone who is able to suspend their belief without trouble.
