When Detective Dirk Dilly gets a surprise visit from a Sea Dragon in need of his sleuthing skills, at first he dismisses the case. After all, dragons are extremely high risk and they rarely pay well. But soon Dirk is stuck - from his horny head to the tip of his scaly tail - right in the thick of a dramatic new mystery full of unexpected danger. His trusty friend Holly has made some startling discoveries too, and it's not long before Holly and Dirk are together involved in perhaps their slipperiest mystery yet, involving the strange disappearance of a sister, a dodgy billionaire and some very powerful dragons. Not to mention they will make some unlikely friends along the way in this compelling and plot-driven story full of exciting and unusual twists and turns.

“I’ve gotten most of what I need to finance the trip,” Jim said eagerly. “I just need your share to help cover the cost of supplies and travel. “I put in 5,000 myself. If you give me 5,000 more it will be enough to get everything I need. See, I’ve got it all planned out.” Jim eagerly handed over a list of the supplies he would need for the trip and their costs. Mr. Broderick had to admit that it was a pretty thorough list. Kendall waited for his turn to see the list. He knew his dad would show it to him and Jamie. After all, he had asked them to join him in this meeting. Kendall felt proud of that. Their father believed enough in their sleuthing abilities to ask their help in something he wasn’t sure of. And you couldn’t ever be sure of anything where Jim Michaels was concerned. Jim was their father’s cousin. He was a great guy, but he liked to get involved in some strange adventures. This was no exception. Jim had dropped by and told them about a letter he had bought. The letter was written by an old prospector who was looking for gold in Alaska. He had found it, but hadn’t been able to bring the gold out. Find out if the letter is real or a fake. See if you can solve this 15-minute mystery before the Brodericks do. Similar to the old Encyclopedia Brown mysteries, these short mysteries give kids all the clues they need to solve the mystery, before revealing the answer on the last page, helping kids learn common sense and attention to detail. Ages 8 and up. LearningIsland.com believes in the value of children practicing reading for 15 minutes every day.

A comprehensive discussion of texts concerning the goddess Asherah, as she is portrayed in texts from Ugarit (both epic and ritual texts, as well as the lists of sacrifices), Israel (the Khirbet el-Qom and Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions) and the Old Testament. The main theses of the book are that two or more divinities carrying the same name but separated by several hundred years are not necessarily to be identified; that Asherah is probably not a name, but rather a title, carried by the main goddess in ancient Syria-Palestine; that the Asherah of the Old Testament and the Israelite texts was indeed the consort of Yahweh; and that the relationship between the text-groups discussed is of a nature that demands great caution, if one wishes to work comparatively with them.
