Ahoy! the July Author Fiesta Continues

Ohhhh, boy!

Er, I mean, "Argggg, matey!"

July = summertime = beaches = boats = pirates = Mem Fox's Tough Boris

New Mystery Author: June & July 2008

Our mystery author for the June & July 2008 (yes, we're giving her two solid months...you'll see why as we go along) Author Fiesta study is:
