|summary=Colwyn Yeats, veteran of the war in Afghanistan and top-class sailor found himself at a loose end over the summer months. A planned research trip fell through when he'd already rented out his apartment. It ''seemed'' fortuitous when an acquaintance approached him to skipper himself and two friends across the Atlantic, in aid of a charity. Yeats had his doubts when he realised that his 'crew' weren't kitted out for the trip (flip flops? I mean, ''honestly''!), they didn't appear to get on with each other particularly well and despite what he'd been told they didn't seem to know much about sailing. But - it was only a few weeks, when he'd nothing else to do, wasn't it?

|summary=Greek legends seems to have been done to death in YA and MG recently, there’s been a fair amount influenced by Norse mythology over the years, and Rick Riordan’s Kane Chronicles are probably the most popular of several books and series which have brought us stories based on that of Egypt. Japanese culture doesn’t seem to have played as big a part (although we’re huge fans of [[Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff]] and [[Kinslayer (Lotus War Trilogy 2) by Jay Kristoff|Kinslayer]] at The Bookbag) so it’s refreshing to see an adventure here featuring ''kappas'', ''nure-onnas'', and ''oni'', amongst other fearsome creatures.
