3,105 | 2 | You cant reach into a YA bookshelf these days without risking zombie infection, but Krovatin has done something fairly unusual here. Its not some tweak on zombie rules; rather, its a seriousness rarely seen in zombie books for this age range. A nature program in the Montana mountains goes awry when 11-year-olds Ian (the wild one), Kendra (the brain), and PJ (the geek) get lost, cross over a forboding stone fence covered with painted sigils, and take refuge inside a cabin where they find a book labeled READ ME TO LIVE. Enter the zombiesthe hungry corpses of a lost dance troupe called the Pine City Dancerswho shamble after our trio as they hunt for the alleged witch who began this curse. One part wilderness survival story and one part grueling horror, Krovatins text lends the characters and events just enough realism to give the plot a welcome weight, without entirely sacrificing the middle-grade attitude (I think I see a bone sticking out of it, yeech). A clever opener to what looks to be a series. Grades 6-9. --Daniel Kraus“Beware. If you read Gravediggers, you’re in for dangers and lots of horrifying surprises. This is my kind of book—fast, frightening, and all TOO REAL!” (R.L. Stine)“This spine-tingling, hair-raising adventure is to readers what human flesh is to zombies - utterly irresistible.” (Michael Grant, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Gone series)“So realistically rendered and well written, Gravediggers will have zombies believing in humans!” (Chris Grabenstein, award-winning author of the Haunted Mystery series)“What great, creepy fun! Scary, funny, with endearing characters and a fast-paced plot, the book is perfect for the zombie-lover in all of us.” (Rick Yancey, author of the Printz Award-winning novel The Monstrumologist and the bestselling Alfred Kropp series)“Krovatin provides moments of gross-out gore in this reluctant-reader pleaser.” (Kirkus Reviews)“A fun horror read sure to appeal to young readers eager to move on from series like R.

3,106 | 2 | Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones (2012) introduced karmically destined 12-year-old zombie hunters Ian, PJ, and Kendra. Exchange that books mountainous Montana setting for hot, sweaty Puerto Rico and those dry, dusty zombies with the bloated, waterlogged variety, and youve got yourself a whopper of a rotting sequel. In no time flat, the teens deserved vacation is disrupted as they become stranded on Isla Hambrienta (the hungry island), where the only thing weirder than the corpses staggering from the sea is charming 16-year-old video-game entrepreneur Danny Melee, who is there studying the undead in preparation for a truly authentictoo authentic, in factimmersive game experience. Krovatins cycling through the three kids viewpoints is propulsive and effective, especially when Kendras crush on Danny drives the trio apart. Though the prose can be slapdash, the protagonists are refreshingly sober, the mad science unusually convincing, and the science-versus-superstition angle intriguing. Bonus: If you enjoy words like slimily and snot-fleshed, look no further. More splattery mayhem is on its way, too. Grades 6-9. --Daniel KrausBeware.

3,107 | 1 | A veteran police officer with a family and a weight problem pairs up with a rough-edged rookie whose procedural bloopers get them kicked off their first investigationso they nab the pusher they had been after on their own time. Sound familiar? Evidently hoping that young readers might find it clever, Krosoczka takes this rather trite plotline and positively festoons it with standard cop TV show lines and tropes. It helps that the duo are platypuses, but this does not have the sense of fun found in Krosoczkas Lunch Lady series (soon to be a major motion picture) and is way more confusing. Not even the dozens of cartoon illustrations (not seen in finished form) and an inviting all-animal cast featuring platypus cops carrying boomerangs instead of guns add that much. Still, the author has a huge fan following, and patrons may request this. Hints of malfeasance in high places set up a next episode, so there will be more. Grades 4-7. --John PetersThese duck-billed detectives really deliver! (Dav Pilkey, creator of Captain Underpants); Title: Platypus Police Squad: The Frog Who Croaked | [

3,110 | 2 | PreS-Onomatopoeia and large, colorful illustrations of simple rounded shapes outlined with thick black lines will be enjoyed by children fascinated with construction equipment. Finished with work for the day, Digger, a small backhoe, cannot rest for the night until he makes the site safe by digging up one last, lone rock. While diligently attempting to unearth the stubborn stone-"perspiration" actually flies off him-larger machines declare they are more experienced and will tackle the job. After they fail, Digger, with encouragement from his friend, dump-truck Tom, tries again and ultimately saves the day by removing the soil around the stone, which is then lifted by the truck crane and carried away by Tom, while the bulldozer, steamroller, and demolition vehicle smooth the ground. Each machine has a mouth and two round eyes that reveal a variety of emotions. This "all's well that ends well" tale is similar in scope to Stephen Savage's Little Tug (Roaring Brook, 2012), but the focus is on teamwork here rather than just the smallest one making the biggest impact. Use with Sally Sutton's Demolition (Candlewick, 2012) for a construction storytime theme.-Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.This engaging picture book about trucks, teamwork, and a try, try again philosophy begins on the endpapers at a construction site. Then readers are introduced to Digger, the smallest in a fleet of anthropomorphized vehicles bearing simplified but emotive faces. Digger, the smallest, and his projects dont always go as planned (tots will relate). One day, there is, so it appears, one tiny rock left. Digger tries to free it but cant. His face reflects consternation, he even breaks a sweat. The other trucks order him out of the way so they can try, but, no more successful, they give Digger one last shot. Illustrations feature bold black outlines and bright blocks of color that match well the playful text that ranges across the pages. Onomatopoeia and other key phrases appear in larger font for emphasis. Bash! Brrrm! Heave! Fun! Preschool-Kindergarten. --Jeanne McDermott; Title: Digger and Tom! | [

3,111 | 2 | PreS-Gr 1Whoosh is a sleek, fast passenger train who rushes past Chug, a small, cautious freight train. Hurtling at breakneck speed, Whoosh pays no heed to his danger signal and ignores his "slowpoke" pal's warning of trouble on the track ahead. While waiting patiently at the light, Chug hears cries of distress, and he helps by carefully clearing the tracks. Thanking his friend, Whoosh remarks, "You might have to work slowly, but you are very quick to come to the rescue!" Braun's characters are brightly hued with big round eyes, smiling faces, and rosy cheeks. The straightforward text conveys Chug's determination and perseverance. Train fans will enjoy this tale of a steady little engine who triumphs.Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, CanadaThird in a series for preschoolers, Brauns new book stays true to the formula used in Digger and Tom! (2013), which also contrasted a smaller, slower machine with a bigger, faster one. Of course all of the machines here, big or small, are humanized, with big smiles on their faces and anxiousness signaled by a few flying beads of sweat. Chug is a little engine who collects and delivers heavy freight: He might be slow, but he is very careful. When a perilous situation develops involving danger on the track ahead, Chug helps Whoosh, a fast and impetuous passenger train, avoid destruction. Whoosh expresses his admiration for Chug as he thanks him: You might have to work slowly, but are very quick to come to the rescue. Brauns bright and cheerful digital illustrations dont have a lot of personality, but the storys simplicity and positive messages travel it a good distance.

3,114 | 2 | *Starred Review* One morning, while pushing her dolls stroller past Mrs. Goodwins house, Penny spies a big, sky-blue marble in her neighbors grass. After checking that no one is watching, she puts it in her pocket. Back at home, she enjoys playing with her new treasure until she sees Mrs. Goodwin in her yard exactly where Penny had found the marble. Suddenly Penny feels uncomfortable. That feeling grows, making it hard for her to eat or sleep. The next morning, after putting the marble back where she found it, she learns that her neighbor had placed it there in hopes that someone would find and love it. When Penny accepts the marble from Mrs. Goodwin and thanks her, all is well. Through his narratives, Henkes conveys shades of emotions that are common to the human experience yet hard to express in words. Its particularly impressive that he can do so in a book for beginning readers. Told in short sentences and simple words with a natural cadence, the story lays out a moral dilemma, lets the heroine find her own solution, and concludes with a reassuringly good outcome. Expressive ink-and-watercolor illustrations complement the text on every page. This small-scale yet immensely satisfying drama is a fine addition to the Penny series. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Henkes's second book for beginning readers is sure to be as well received as his first, Penny and Her Song (2012). Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn PhelanPerfect for beginning readers. A treasure.

3,115 | 2 | Gr 58Action and adventure abound in this fantasy novel about a young woman whose life is upended when she learns the truth about her past. Set in the same world as Levine's The Two Princesses of Bamarre, but generations earlier, this story follows the struggles of 15-year-old Peregrine (Perry), the adopted daughter of the powerful Lord Tove and Lady Klausine. Perry is socially awkward but athletically gifted and craves attention from her stern Lakti parents, members of the ruling class who dole their affection out in small doses. Just before her first trip to the battlefield, Perry is visited by a fairy who tells her that she is not part of the Lakti ruling class but Bamarre born. Bamarre people are oppressed by and made to serve the Lakti, who treat them with disdain and tell stories of their weakness. When Lord Tove discovers the truth about Perry's birth, he imprisons her in a tower. Armed with magical seven league boots, Perry escapes and begins a new life. While living in disguise with her Bamarre birth parents, she resolves to rescue her newfound people from the tyranny of the Lakti, eventually sparking a rebellion. Levine plays with the "Rapunzel" story here, giving Perry magical hair and placing her in a familiar medieval setting. Despite a few moments of awkwardness in the text, the action moves along swiftly and Perry's moral awakening is ultimately satisfying. VERDICT With its relevant commentary on race and prejudice and its strong female lead, this newest addition to Levine's oeuvre will appeal to the author's followers and fantasy fans.Kristy Pasquariello, Wellesley Free Library, MAIn her usual witty, magical style, Gail Carson Levine has built a tale of resilience and rebellion that feels more timely than ever... Readers both familiar and new to Levines storytelling will devour this tale and cheer its stunning conclusion. (Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series) Levine riffs gently on Rapunzel and delivers an arch appraisal of discrimination and bigotry, cloaked in a magical, medieval, vaguely European fairy-tale setting. A captivating and charming adventure sure to please young readers and longtime fans. (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))Perrys struggle to reconcile her fathers love for her with his deep hatred of the Bamarre resonates, as does her burgeoning and nuanced definition of strength. Her growing awareness of prejudice and ethnocentrism is insightful and believable; readers will easily connect her journey to their own experiences. (Publishers Weekly)Levine slips seamlessly back into the world of The Two Princesses of Bamarre (2001)... This balances elements of Rapunzel and a smart, timely exploration of the prejudices that exist between people, and fans of Levine will rejoice to watch the journey of another strong, flawed heroine. (Booklist)With its relevant commentary on race and prejudice and its strong female lead, this newest addition to Levines oeuvre will appeal to the authors followers and fantasy fans. (School Library Journal)A clear set up of rights and wrongs, a sympathetic protagonist, and a sweeping magical settingtheres a lot that existing Levine fans will recognize and appreciate here, and new readers will be pleased to learn that the author has plenty more for them to enjoy.

3,116 | 13 | *Starred Review* Penny, a little mouse girl, has a song in her heart. Well, its not just in her heart, because as soon as she comes home from school, she wants to belt it out loud: One is nice, two is nice. But Mama and Papa are concerned that Pennys song will wake up the babies. She tries singing to herself and to her glass animals, but what fun is that? Penny gives her song a go at dinner; her parents insist it will have to wait. Finally, in front of her folks and the twins, Penny gets to sing about one and two being nice (three is even better); four and five are also nice (six in rain is wetter). Seven and eight: nice as well. Nine? Almost best. But ten is even bigger, and is better than the rest. So much praise is heaped on Penny that she sings the song again. And here is where Henkes has his finger on the pulse of families: on the next go-around the whole family joins in, which provokes Mama and Papa to put on costumes and dance. Finally, everyone is exhausted, and the singing has put the babies to sleep. The text, with its frustrations and joys, is perfect for new readers, and Henkes familiar artwork has its share of warm moments. This early reader captures the way families make memories at unexpected moments. Welcome Penny to the cast. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Any new book by Caldecott-winning Henkes is cause for anticipation, and this one even more so as it marks the first time he has written for beginning readers. Preschool-Grade 2. --Ilene CooperA quiet gem. (School Library Journal (starred review))Imagination grows and spreads from the fertile pages of this book to the minds of young readersA must for every library. (School Library Journal (starred review))This intimate exploration of a childs burgeoning imagination hits every note rightJust plain perfect.

3,125 | 2 | The Berenstain Bears are celebrating their 50th Anniversary in 2012.Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 340 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books--even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000. Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Berenstain Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania.berenstainbears.com; Title: The Berenstain Bears and the Tooth Fairy | [

Of course he finds an unexpected, rather large pal, but realizes that the more the merrier is true when it comes to friendship.

3,164 | 12 | Gr 3-6With the help of his characters Arlo, Emily, and Andrea, Gutman makes grammar entertaining.However, his introduction is immediately off-putting as he states that anyone who regularly uses bad grammar sounds like a dumbhead. In a school environment where students juggle two or more languages, along with the other aches and pains of growing up, calling someone a dumbhead for not using proper grammar is unacceptable. Gutman fills the book with helpful information, including how to start writing a short story, how to organize research for nonfiction writing, and how to master confusing words like their, they're, there. The book is readable, with kid-friendly language and valid suggestions and tricks. Perhaps teachers could use excerpts, rather than handing students the book itself.Sarah Knutson, American Canyon Middle School, CA(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.It would be hard to find a funnier childrens guide to writing and grammar than this oneor a writer with greater credibility on the topic than Gutman, whose My Weird School and Baseball Card Adventures series have persuaded many young readers that they can handle chapter books and, even better, enjoy them. Always entertaining and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, this guidebook leads off with an introduction, entitled Dont Be a Dumbhead, explaining why readers should care about the topic. The first half of the book deals with writing and revision, while the second half presents grammar, complete with confessional comments (Lie or Lay? I get this one wrong all the time); spelling tricks; and amusing sample sentences. Cartoon-style drawings add to the fun. A broad range of readers will find the book helpful. Insecure students will benefit from the disarming presentation, while motivated ones will appreciate the short list of websites that publish student writing. A comical yet practical introduction to writing. Grades 3-6. --Carolyn Phelan; Title: My Weird Writing Tips (My Weird School) | [

3,168 | 2 | PreS-Gr 2-In the first early level reader, Pete tries to have fun building sand castles, eating sandwiches, and searching for shells, but the hot sun makes him sizzle while his brother is out there riding his surfboard, staying nice and cool. Finally, the heat gets to Pete and he decides to try the water. He faces his fear of the big waves and, after a few attempts, is surfing just like Bob. Strong artwork, summer hues, and familiar characters make this a great addition to collections. In Whale of a Tale, Splat the Cat goes to the beach for vacation and promises to find the perfect seashell to bring home to his grandpa. As he begins his search, he is pulled in all directions, helping his dad set up the beach umbrella, spelling names in the sand for his sister, and, of course, stopping for fish and ice cream. Finally, he gets his chance to search for shells but he just can't seem to find the right one until he stumbles into the water and lands on a friendly whale who helps him with his mission. The artwork and perspective are well designed, and whimsical drawings assist new readers with context clues and even inspire a few giggles. Two solid choices for emergent readers.-Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

3,175 | 0 | Gr 2-4-Beginning chapter-book readers can meet the young Amelia Bedelia and enjoy her literal take on the world around her. In Business, the homophonic-challenged girl is looking for ways to earn money for a new bike. She encounters all sorts of mayhem as she helps out at the local diner, sells stolen flowers, has a run-in with the local police, and tries her luck selling drinks at her lemonade sit. (After all why should customers have to stand?) Wordplay abounds as Amelia "steps on it," splattering pie on a customer at a diner and taking each word to heart. Her parents are helpful in explaining meanings to her, but readers will laugh out loud as she navigates her way through a variety of business opportunities. In Unleashed, Amelia Bedelia searches for the perfect puppy. Her parents encourage her to learn about different breeds by helping her neighbor with her dog-walking business. While out walking several of the dogs, Amelia meets her friend Charlie and his pedigreed poodle. He invites her to help get Pierre "show ready" with a bath and coat trim. Things go badly awry, and the two friends have two hours to find the dog and figure out a way to fix his coat in time for the show. In both books, the illustrations bring the characters and plot to the forefront, and well-designed drawings provide reluctant readers with dynamic and whimsical visual cues. Rendered in gouache and black pencil, the artwork splashes across the pages. Sure to be favorites on the early chapter-book shelves.-Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI(c) Copyright 2011.

She keeps a journal, learns to read a map (kind of), accidentally joins a small-town parade, and enters the Miss Bigmouth fishing contest. Like the earlier books in the series, Amelia Bedelia is likable and funny, though somewhat less outlandish than in previous books by Peggy Parish. Small illustrations break up every spread, making it a good choice for readers transitioning into chapter books. Hand this to fans of Junie B. Jones and Ruby Lu.

3,180 | 12 | K-Gr 2This sixth Amelia Bedelia title by Herman Parish presents a younger, modern Amelia in a wordy picture-book format. When Amelia's class takes a trip to the library, the youngsters get a tour that includes a chance to check in returned books, a walk through the stacks (not of hay or pancakes), and a visit to the children's room. With assistance from the librarian, Amelia picks a book about cupcakes to borrow but accidentally winds up with one on weather instead. This turns out to be surprisingly prophetic and, during a thunderstorm, she leaves the book outdoors. Horrified, she and her mother explain the pulpy mess to the librarian, who accepts their offer to replace the book and an apology cupcake. Yummm! says the librarian. Amelia Bedelia, I'm glad you brought this in for me to check out! Amelia takes a few things literally, but the text has far more subtle wordplay and library rules than Amelia's typical misunderstandings. Avril's illustrations done in gouache and black pencil do a fine job of depicting everything from the settings to Amelia's ever-changing expressions, bringing the text to life. Sure to be popular where Parish's previous Amelia Bedelia titles have done well.Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH(c) Copyright 2013.

3,181 | 2 | Gr 58The battle for control over Sterling City has ended and the evil Cloak Society has won. Most of the good-guy Rangers of Justice have been trapped in the Gloom, an alternate dimension. The City's only remaining super-powered protectors are seven teenagers: three young Rangers and four former Cloak members who traded villany for heroism. Struggling to regroup, the teens must learn to work together despite their past differences and rescue the trapped Rangers. Adding to the group's trust issues are two new superpowered teens who want to join the team but whose true motives are suspect. Kraatz does a good job keeping readers guessing who may betray the heroes. Favorite characters from the first book return including telekinetic Alex, shape-shifter Kirbie, and tech genius Gabe. Kraatz continues to please readers who love comic book action with high-tech gadgets, fierce battles, and characters boasting an inventive arsenal of super abilities.

3,186 | 2 | Gr 2-4-Beginning chapter-book readers can meet the young Amelia Bedelia and enjoy her literal take on the world around her. In Business, the homophonic-challenged girl is looking for ways to earn money for a new bike. She encounters all sorts of mayhem as she helps out at the local diner, sells stolen flowers, has a run-in with the local police, and tries her luck selling drinks at her lemonade sit. (After all why should customers have to stand?) Wordplay abounds as Amelia "steps on it," splattering pie on a customer at a diner and taking each word to heart. Her parents are helpful in explaining meanings to her, but readers will laugh out loud as she navigates her way through a variety of business opportunities. In Unleashed, Amelia Bedelia searches for the perfect puppy. Her parents encourage her to learn about different breeds by helping her neighbor with her dog-walking business. While out walking several of the dogs, Amelia meets her friend Charlie and his pedigreed poodle. He invites her to help get Pierre "show ready" with a bath and coat trim. Things go badly awry, and the two friends have two hours to find the dog and figure out a way to fix his coat in time for the show. In both books, the illustrations bring the characters and plot to the forefront, and well-designed drawings provide reluctant readers with dynamic and whimsical visual cues. Rendered in gouache and black pencil, the artwork splashes across the pages. Sure to be favorites on the early chapter-book shelves.-Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.Incorporating wordplay, puns, and humor, the first title in the new Amelia Bedelia Chapter Books series brings Peggy Parishs classic character, here school-age, to a slightly older audiencecourtesy of her nephew, Herman Parish. After seeing snarky classmate Kaite-Lynnes fancy new bike, Amelia Bedelia wants one, too, but earning money isnt easy. An apprentice-waitressing opportunity goes awry when a hurried customer requests, Bring me a piece of pieand step on it! and well-meaning but ever-literal-minded Amelia Bedelia does both, with messy results. Her lemonade stands locale and festive sign (Lots of Lemons) garners attention, but its not the kind of publicity a used-car-lot owner appreciates. But, ultimately, and happily, there are silver linings, too. With the spirit and flair that epitomized the original character, Amelia Bedelias an earnest, appealing protagonist whose interpretationsand inadvertent misinterpretationsoften lead to a great hullabaloo. Although the wordplay is occasionally challenging (e.g. like understanding lemon in reference to a car, or the idiom Cut the mustard) this is an enjoyable, entertaining read. Final illustrations not seen. Grades 2-4. --Shelle Rosenfeld; Title: Amelia Bedelia Means Business | [

3,189 | 2 | Gr 4-8-Harrison has spent his youth passed from one foster home to another. When he is rescued from an abusive couple and placed with the Kellys, things seem almost too good. Mr. Kelly is the JV football coach at Harrison's new secondary school, and Mrs. Kelly is a lawyer. They have always wanted a child of their own, and soon Harrison is calling her "Mom" and playing on Coach's team. In spite of his lack of football experience, he proves unstoppable on the field when he gets the ball in his hands. Not all of his teammates are happy about their new 13-year-old star, and when Leo intentionally injures him during a practice, it just makes Harrison more determined to play. The knee injury doesn't get better, though, and an MRI shows much more than a torn ligament: suddenly, Harrison is being treated for bone cancer. He goes through surgery, requiring the amputation of part of his leg, and then chemotherapy, and he vacillates between depression and anger. Helping him through it are Coach and Mrs. Kelly, as well as Coach's old Army buddy, Major Bauer, who lost a leg in the Gulf War. Even when Harrison wants to push his friends away, they rally around him, and he allows himself to dream of playing football again, inspired by real-life athlete and amputee Jeff Keith. In short chapters with cliff-hanger endings, Green clearly shows the difficulties that the teen overcomes, and the truly unstoppable spirit that resides within him. While the dialogue can be a little mawkish, this is a hopeful story that Green's fans will enjoy.-Kim Dare, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.With a sharp intensity fueled by both wrenching events and the main characters white-hot core of rage, Green sends an abused foster kid blasting his way through daunting challenges on and off the football field. Thirteen-year-old Harrison is caught by surprise when his fifth set of foster parents turn out to be a loving couple. Though justifiably suspicious of this change of fortune, he not only makes new friends at school but finds a channel for his temper in the school football team coached by his new foster father. So overwhelmingly fast, strong, and brutal is Harrison that he even intimidates his own team members. But his dream of NFL glory is cut short when an MRI on a knee injury reveals bone cancer advanced enough to require amputation. With coaching from both a hard-nosed disabled vet and an indomitable young fellow patient, Harrison sets his sights not just on rehabilitation but a return to the gridiron. Unlike Greens previous novels, the game action largely stays in the background, while Harrisons ferocious struggles with inner demons and physical obstacles make absorbing reading.
