Résumé: Book Description
Garfield, bon vivant of cats, lazy, sassy, grouchy, and downright delightful, is back with an all-star cast: JON his owner, LIZ the veterinarian, IRMA the waitress, LYMAN, Jon's friend; ODIE just a dog, NERMAL, a cute kitten, and POOKY, Garfield's very own teddy bear. Together again, they're in Garfield's world now, and what he says goes -- for everyone.

From the Publisher
In this third title of the series, Garfield makes a new friend or should we say enemy? It's Nermal, the ever youthful kitten and he's here to steal Garfield's spotlight! Garfield celebrates National Fat Week (let's see the card companies put that in their little calendars!) in this book too. Jon drags Garfield to his parents' farm, which bales up more funny escapades than a barnful of hay! Jon also decides to enter Garfield in a cat show. Garfield surrounded by cats with fancy pedigrees? The results are hilarious!

From the Publisher
Nine books and Garfield still makes me laugh! I guess it's due to the fact that I've had Red Tabbies as pets for years and yes, they are as crazy as Garfield! In this title, Jon and Garfield go on a tropical vacation. Garfield also tries win the heart of Arlene, who doesn't seem to be impressed with Garfield's charms. To Jon's horror, he also makes friends with the mice who are annoying Jon to no end. Katherine Clarke

Série: Green Rider 1
Résumé: This fat fantasy is the author's first published novel. Although the typical back cover quotes from Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley overpraise it somewhat--"stunning," "terrific," "classic"--it's a good, highly readable debut. Kristen Britain tells her story at a headlong pace and with considerable charm. Young heroine Karigan hardly has time to regret being expelled from school (for dueling) before finding herself committed to the desperate errand of a murdered Green Rider. The Riders are an elite messenger corps using both horses and magic; the message is a terrible warning. Bad things from bad places are invading this fantasyland, their presence being only part of a devious, sorcery-aided human struggle for the throne. Karigan's wild ride is beset by a variety of enemies, but aided by her own developing talents plus certain strange allies. These include the tormented ghost of the dead Green Rider himself--still pierced by and trying to resist the chief villain's black arrows that ensnare the soul. Delivering the message to a suspicious court is only half Karigan's job: can it be interpreted in time? The pages turn fast, the heroine is likeable and the villains hissable, and all ends as it should. Nice one. --David Langford, Amazon.co.uk

Série: Green Rider 2
Résumé: From Booklist
Karigan is a Green Rider, one of the king's elite troop of messengers, each of whom is called as magic in the blood answers an ancient summons. Since the breaching of the D'Yer Wall, which protects Sacoridia from the malignant forces of the Blackveil Forest, however, all the magic in the land has become unpredictable, including that of the Riders. With tainted magic escaping into the world, and Karigan herself poisoned by it, the last thing she needs is to start having visions and hearing voices--visions of the First Rider, Lil Ambriodhe, long-dead founder of the troop, and voices whispering of an age-old, unbreakable link between Lil and Karigan. Lil has seen Karigan's future and that of Sacoridia, and the land will come to no good end if Karigan and Lil together are unable to overcome the great evil that is about to enter the world. Fans of The Green Rider (1998) will be very happy to see its sequel, which, fortunately, stands well on its own. Paula Luedtke
