jack And His Invisible Friend Tashi Return For Two More Tales In The Fourteenth Book Of The Tashi Series. In The First Tale Tashi And His Friends Learn That Wise-as-an-owl's Son, Much-to-learn, Has Unleashed The Chimera From The Book Of Spells. The Monster Has A Lion's Head, Goat's Body, And Snake's Tail. It Destroys Wise-as-an-owl's Workshop With Much-to-learn Still Inside. Tashi And Company Rescue Much-to-learn And Retrieve The Book Of Spells So That Wise-as-an-owl Can Make A Potion To Make The Chimera Disappear. Just As The Group Returns To Their Hideaway, The Chimera Returns And Falls Asleep, But In Their Hurry The Group Forgets To Bring The Spell's Ingredients. Tashi Bravely Volunteers To Collect Them While The Beast Sleeps. The Next Morning, Wise-as-an-owl Mixes The Potion And The Group Travels Back To The Ruined Workshop While The Chimera Hunts. They Barely Have Time To Set The Bowl In Place And Take Shelter Before The Monster Returns. As The Chimera Drinks The Mixture, The Group's Hideaway Falls Apart. The Chimera Nearly Catches Them, But The Potion Works Just In Time. The Second Tale Begins With Jack's Classmate Angus Figment, Who Is Falsely Accused Of Drawing A Naughty Picture, Which Was Actually Created By Arthur Trouble. This Reminds Tashi Of A Time When He Was Similarly Wronged. Tashi Nearly Kills Soh Meen's Prized Carp While Playing, And When Soh Meen Wakes The Next Morning And Finds The Fish Dead, He Assumes Tashi Is The Killer. To Find The Real Culprit, Tashi Invites A List Of Suspects To His Home And Serves Them Lemonade Spiked With Truth Potion. Soh Meen's Wife Confesses To Accidentally Poisoning The Pond And Angus Convinces Arthur Toalso Tell The Truth. Younger Readers May Struggle With The Vocabulary, And Older Children May Reject The Imaginary Main Character. Reviewer: Jennifer Wood
