I couldn't have done it without you.'' Funny incidents and one-liners sparkle throughout the seamless narrative, but Manes also inserts thoughtful dialogue about fair play and fan interference. Tension mounts as the Shoppers' Dirk Wade pitches one perfect inning after another-only to lose in the 10th still, a special night for him, and for Jake, who leaves with a caught foul ball, a new collection of baseball cards, a battered program containing that scorecard, plus a startling note from Wade: ``Thanks Jake. Luck or magic? While Jake struggles with the notion that he may have a magic scorecard, Manes deftly slips readers into the stands, recreating the authentic flavor of a minor league ball game: the sounds, the smells, the local promotions between each half-inning, the uneven (by major league standards) level of play, the intimacy of a small stadium. A Cascade League playoff game between the Nottingham Shoppers and the Wakena Apples reaches a new level of excitement when Jake discovers that what he puts down on his scorecard comes to pass on the baseball field-sometimes. A valentine to a game that was, and could be again, almost perfect.

Some of it lands-one of Cleo’s friends dismisses a man for having “shoe trees in all his shoes, even the sneakers. Mellors leavens this marital Sturm und Drang with a satirical portrait of present-day New York life. Soon, resentment, carelessness, infidelity, and unresolved issues from their childhoods come between them (Frank’s mother was an emotionally distant alcoholic and Cleo’s died by suicide), but their intoxicating chemistry keeps them together. Frank, a successful ad executive with a worsening drinking problem, meets Cleo, an aspiring British painter 20 years his junior, on New Year’s Eve in Manhattan, and they begin an affair.

His interactions with Jace are particularly interesting, and we see a range of emotions from him, which adds some depth to his character. We see a more human side of Sebastian, which makes us question just how much the demon blood has affected him. The plot then follows our heroes as they try to save Jace and stop Sebastian from carrying out his evil plans.Īlthough the book has less action than previous instalments, it more than makes up for it in character development. They soon discover that Jace and Sebastian have been bound together by a dark ceremony, which means Jace is no longer himself. The book starts with a sense of urgency as our heroes, Clary and Jace, try to find Jace’s long-lost brother, Sebastian.

"That's irrelevant." Turning away, he looked out over the frozen vista. Finally, after the Fox gives an extended dissertation on Tweetle Beetles who fight (battle) with paddles while standing in a puddle inside a bottle (a Tweetle Beetle Bottle Puddle Paddle Battle Muddle), Knox acts on his frustration by stuffing Fox into the bottle, reciting a tongue-twister of his own: When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle with their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle, THIS is what they call. As the book progresses the Fox describes each situation with rhymes that progress in complexity, with Knox periodically complaining of the difficulty of the tongue-twisters. After taking those four rhyming items through several permutations, more items are added (chicks, bricks, blocks, clocks), and so on. Knox") along with some props (a box and a pair of socks).
