  Inspired by personal experience, this is a very fresh and funny MG series by CBCA shortlisted author Samera Kamaleddine. 
    
  I didn't always live with seven old people and one middle-aged cavoodle called Christine ... 
  Claudia Smith's parents have left her to (temporarily) live with her grandparents at the Boonside Heights Retirement Village while they're away on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise. 
  The only good thing? The most popular kids at school, Yasmin and Zayn Bassal, have turned up to visit their grandmother.  
  The not-so-good thing? Orpheus McAdoo, the most annoying kid at school, is hanging around like a bad smell.  
  When the discovery of a mysterious note has the oldies in a fluster, Claudia sees an opportunity for the unlikely foursome to get together and solve the mystery. There's just one problem ... 
  They don't have a single clue.

  Fiasol On the Go

  Fíasól is an eight-year-old traveller. She celebrated her birthday in pouring rain in a trailer tent in the east of Iceland and gave everyone on the campsite a piece of cake and hot chocolate. Fíasól says that she’s spent half her life sleeping in a tent but Mum says that’s just rubbish. In the hallway at home is a small suitcase that nobody is allowed to touch. Fíasól has stuffed everything into it she might need, should she suddenly have to go travelling. 
  “This family is always going off here there and everywhere,” she says. “I may as well have my suitcase ready if I need to whizz off somewhere. One simply lives in a suitcase, always off somewhere, such a nomad,” she says, shaking her head precociously. She has sometimes heard her grandmother say this when she and her grandfather come back from the Canary Islands.  
  “You don’t even know what a nomad is,” says Pippa laughing. 
  “Yeah, a nomad is a wanderer and I am a wanderer,” replied Fíasól, pleased with herself.  
  Fíasól still lives on Green Grove in Grasby with her mum, dad and her sisters Pippa and Bidda. She also lives there with the noisybags and lazybones Hansína and Jensína who bark non-stop when they’re not sleeping. Then they lie on their backs in the basket in the kitchen, snoring like little monsters. 
  One day there was an awful lot of rain in Green Grove and Fíasól was bored. She painted her face to look like an American native, using yellow, green and blue face paints, and then she implored her mum to let her paint her too. 
  “Please Mum, let me change you into a native American chief,” Fíasól begged, while her mum kept working on her computer. 
  “No, absolutely not,” Mum muttered, preoccupied. 
  “So you’re just a boring old hag,” said Fíasól moodily. “Can’t be bothered, don’t know how to play and don’t want to do anything that’s fun.”

  In The Walls of Eryx by H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth Sterling - Trapped. Alone. No Way Out. 
  Before I try to rest I will set down these notes in preparation for the report I must make. What I have found is so singular, and so contrary to all past experience and expectations, that it deserves a very careful description.  
  I reached the main landing on Venus March 18, terrestrial time; VI-9 of the planet’s calendar. Being put in the main group under Miller, I received my equip- ment—watch tuned to Venus’s slightly quicker rotation—and went through the usual mask drill. After two days I was pronounced fit for duty.  
  Leaving the Crystal Company’s post at Terra Nova around dawn, VI-12, I followed the southerly route which Anderson had mapped out from the air. The going was bad, for these jungles are always half impassable after a rain. It must be the moisture that gives the tangled vines and creepers that leathery toughness; a toughness so great that a knife has to work ten minutes on some of them. By noon it was dryer—the vegetation getting soft and rubbery so that the knife went through it easily, but even then I could not make much speed. These Carter oxygen masks are too heavy—just carrying one half wears an ordinary man out. A Dubois mask with sponge-reservoir instead of tubes would give just as good air at half the weight.  
  The crystal detector seemed to function well, pointing steadily in a direction verifying Anderson’s report. It is curious how that principle of affinity works, without any of the fakery of the old divining-rods back home. There must be a great deposit of crystals within a thousand miles, though I suppose those damnable man-lizards always watch and guard it. Possibly they think we are just as foolish for coming to Venus to hunt the stuff as we think they are for groveling in the mud whenever they see a piece of it, or for keeping the great mass on a pedestal in their temple.

These sharks are extremely aggressive and hold the interest of many, especially Casey.     A late October fishing trip took an unexpected turn when the Orca II received an emergency SOS from the S.S.
