  Now he’s got a baby with her new stepmum and everything has changed. Worse still, her windsurfer hasn’t arrived yet, so there’s nothing for her to do but wait for Mum who is stuck overseas. 
  Then Becky finds a strange stone at Whale Bay and her luck changes. She makes new friends, joins an environmental group, borrows a windsurfer, and has several close encounters with a bottlenose dolphin who simply won’t leave her alone.  
  But what is wrong with the dolphin? Is it trying to tell her something? Is it sick? And who are the people poaching fish from the marine reserve? How is it all connected? Becky must find a way to solve it all. 
  Just Keep Going is a story of blended families, new friendships, marine pollution, a magical stone, a persistent dolphin, and a young girl with a strong will to succeed, adapting to life in a new country.

Bagheera the leopard and Baloo the bear cannot follow so they find Kaa, the huge python and persuade him to help rescue him. Using his wits and the Master Words that introduce him to other species as a friend, Mowgli survives until his friends can reach him. When Kaa and Bagheera arrive the monkeys throw Mowgli into an abandoned house inhabited by cobras, whereupon Mowgli hastily uses the snakes' Master Word to prevent them from striking. When Baloo and Bagheera arrive, a furious battle ensues where they are close to defeat until Kaa arrives to hypnotize the Bandar-log into submission. As I said, this is an exciting and fun story told in the unique style of Kipling.

  Two thousand years ago, a ship sailed east, alone on an endless sea. The people onboard were fleeing the same war that the Maccabees fought in the ancient land of Israel. They took with them their faith and their traditions, knowing they would sail for more than a year. 
   
  When a great storm crushed their boat on the shores of India, only a few survived.  
   
  Some say the prophet Elijah plucked them from the sea. 
   
  But they were welcomed by the people of the new land. 
   
  They survived and adapted, with new spices for their food and new clothing and culture to borrow, but never strayed from their faith. 
   
  They say Elijah came back down from Heaven in a chariot of fire to praise this community, the Bene Israel of India, for their strength and their belief. 
   
  Here, for all to share, is their story.
