OMG! His half-brother!!!!! And Mouse? Comeon, Harry! The critter's a defender out of Chinese myths. Small? Oh, MY!!!! Well, Thomas certainly knows one when he sees one.

BTW: Have you noticed, we have a 'Tom' and a 'Harry'. When is 'Dick' going to show up?

Started Book 7 this morning. Hmmm, the vampires are back. (You're right: they are getting to be a bit much. Sorta like the Mafia in Thrillers of the 70s.) But the Necromancers are a nice addition.

Mind, I miss Butter's green rabbit slippers.

And we learn more about Bob. Ooooooooooooo!

And the Dark is quietly infiltrating. You're right: the long-term plotting makes up for the vampires.

Thanks again. I'm having a lot of fun with these...and the dusting is still waiting. :-)
