Arabel was watching Chris wash her dad's new car. Mortimer, who was always getting into trouble was studying a waterhose very hard. Mortimer got his foot stuck in the waterhose and got himself all tangeld up in it. He was pecking and pekcing. He poked many holes in the waterhose. One time, Mortimer, who loved to dig in cracks of cars was digging in Arabel's father's car when he found a ring. It belonged to Lady Dunnage. She had a parrot named Isabella. Isabella was a very proper parrot she had all of her feathers brushed back and she looked beautiful. Miss Dunnage asked Mr. and Mrs.Jones, "Would you like to go on a cruise with me?" So, the whole family went on a cruise.
Arabel and Mortimer OverviewIn this silly sequel to Arabel's Raven, Mortimer floats out to sea on a grand piano, tries to get even with three giraffes that have stolen his doughnuts at the zoo, and takes off with King Arthur's sword. Will Arabel ever be able to control her troublemaking pet raven?

The Complete Horowitz Horror ReviewThis book by Anthony Horowitz includes 18 short stories around 25 pages each. The setting of most of the stories occurs somewhere around England; most of them take place in a modern-day unnamed city. The characters are all mostly 10-15 years old and are almost an even split between boys and girls. They are all somehow dragged into each story that's supposed to be scary, and tortured in a psychological form. However, there is a reason this review is named "Horror-ish." Only about 3 of the 18 stories had any form of thrill factor to them. The problem in this book varies depending on the story, but most of the time the horror occurs because the main character buys something or meets someone evil in each story, and this causes them to have bad luck or worse. For instance, in "The Monkey's Ear" the main character bought a monkey's ear that granted wishes. Yet the ear didn't hear well and every time they wished for an item something slightly different appeared. For example they wished for a Rolls Royce and got a roll of rice. There is no one resolution in this book because they are all short stories. Each short story has its own horrific ending. For example in "The Monkey's Ear" the horror doesn't happen until the last 2 pages when the father wished his son would go away forever. Overall, this book is decent, but it is not very scary at all. It is a good introductory horror book if there ever was a thing.The Complete Horowitz Horror OverviewNew York Times Bestseller Anthony Horowitz's horror collections, now in one volume!
Welcome to a world where everything seems normal. At least, at first. But the sinister and truly terrifying lurk just beneath the surface. Like a bathtub with a history so haunted, no one dares get in it...or an ordinary-looking camera that does unspeakable things to its subjects...or an elevator filled with cannibals just waiting for their next victim to walk in....This wicked collection of eighteen macabre tales combining both Horowitz Horror and More Horowitz Horror will send shivers up your spine.
