The Star Ghost [DS9 Young Adult 1] by Brad Strickland

Super cute. I'm really into the Jake and Nog friendship, and this does a great job of playing with Ferengi cultural differences.

I was really into this one! Getting to go down to Bajor was really fun, and I hope they do it more in the series.

The drum, the doll, and the zombie by John Bellairs

Well, this was a lot more horrorizing (to use a word invented by my grandson) than I expected, based on other Bellairs books I've read. And using voudon as the entire plot, background, and everything of the book is a pretty bold move. I don't know if the authors actually did any research, I certainly have not, but when you're taking an actual religion and/or cultural phenomenon that's not your own, it's good to put in an author's note to enable your readers to know. Is this purely fantasy (in which case a disclaimer would be courteous) or is there any grain of truth? One of the things I have always liked about Bellairs is that he gets Catholicism and its appurtenances right, unlike (for example) Stoker. Not sure he's getting voudon right at all.

Great Edward Gorey frontispiece! I'm so glad that he stuck with the series for so long.… (more)
