Описание: And if I'm not mistaken, said Blackthorne, peering into the microscope, we can narrow down our list of Mr. Kirkpatrick's visitors to a dalmatian, a Sussex spaniel, a poodle, a weimaraner... -- Blackthorne looked up from the microscope -- and an orange-haired cat.
Samuel Blackthorne, a Yorkshire terrier, is a master of observation and a genius of deductive reasoning who earns his living by unraveling mysteries and solving crimes.
When Molly Kirkpatrick, a sleek greyhound, comes to Blackthorne for help in finding her missing brother Patrick, a quiet accountant, it seems like a simple enough case. But the trail leads Blackthorne and his colleague, Smithfield, to the docks, the dog track, casinos, and all kinds of roguish characters. They are caught up in an increasingly convoluted web of deceit that involves the highest-ranking officials in the city -- and a mysterious, possibly deadly, cat with just one ear.
In this witty mystery Scott Emerson recounts the amazing adventures of Mr. Samuel Blackthorne, as revealed in the notebooks of Dr. Edward R. Smithfield.

Описание: Adventures in Shroomville, a Children-Young Adults novel, has earned many accolades and is honoured to be chosen by educators as an important part of the national Newspapers in Education program building good reading habits in youth. The Hamilton Spectator is among major newspapers serialising chapters. Shroomville had been a happy little village, tucked away deep in a vast boreal forest whose bristling green canopy stretched beyond forever Oh, one little detail makes this village stand out. You see, these villagers are tiny - about as tall as a mans size 9 shoe - and they live peacefully and happily in large, living mushroom houses. Marshall Shroom finds life here is truly happiness itself - until his 13th year that is! Hearing a telepathic cry for help, Mars sets out on a quest to rescue his dad and his best friend Portia from the sinister clutches of the evil Maliset With his emerging super powers and the help of strange new friends, will Mars succeed in his quest in time?
