title: Gargoyles : Monsters in Stone (All Aboard Reading, Level 2)
author:  Jennifer Dussling 
description: Grade 1-3-Brief, staccato sentences relate the history of gargoyles from the Middle Ages to the present. Unfortunately, the excellent illustrations are poorly served by the choppy, stiff text that reads like a series of flat statements rather than a flowing narrative-"...we do know what gargoyles were used for. They drained off water. Rain could wear away the stone of a church. So gargoyles kept the water away from the church's walls." Full-page color drawings illustrate the use of these decorative statues in medieval churches, the workmen and artisans who designed them, and their practical use as drainpipes. Elaborate borders frame each double-page spread. Adequate, but flawed.<br /><i>Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY </i><br />Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  Tally Grey Connors’ final story.
  Carson Connors heads out on one last, minor hunt before retiring forever to raise his daughter, Riley,
  but as Tally goes into labor, tragedy strikes. The hunt for the last two surviving gargoyles—the
  strongest and smartest of the Stonebrood clan—warps life and love, straining even Nick and
  Damian’s four century long relationship, in ways that no one could possibly anticipate.
  Unbearable is an emotion-charged part of the Stonebrood Saga, revealing the tragic events of Riley’s
  early childhood.
