The Nurgla's Magic Tear
Priscilla Lamont
A second book about Katie and her outer space monster, the Nurgla. With a variety of themes, from the ozone layer to the building of Stonehenge, and a complex, involved text, this is for older Juniors who can cope with the rather arbitrary nature of the happenings and can appreciate the more involved jokes. A streak of sentimentality is also added and makes for a rather odd and uneasy mixture. If you enjoyed the first book you'll know what to expect.
