I’ll get us a refill.’īut, at this point, Piper hadn’t been a hobby writer for many years. We laughed about it a lot, while Beam struggled to find a decent plot for the sequel. Space Viking, in my not so humble opinion, stands as one of the best novels Beam ever wrote-and just what the hell did the book have to do with the Fuzzy thing? If Janet Wood thought that Piper was just going to sit in Williamsport and crank out Little Fuzzy adventures just for Avon, she had another think coming. Carr’s Typewriter Killer, Mike Knerr, Piper’s friend and would-be biographer, said, On February 14, 1962, Piper got word that Janet Wood at Avon Books wanted a sequel to Little Fuzzy. ![]() Beam’s plan was to write one book, or short story, in each century of his future history, not write three bloody Fuzzy novels, including one he could never sell. It was those Fuzzy books that killed him! They got his hopes up, then dashed them. ![]()

Each and every one fits perfectly into the story, and yet they all have such stunning personalities. I was a huge fan of every character who made their way into this book. Worst of all, it seems to Egg that no adventure will ever make its way into his life. The island he lives on smells and is filled with pirates, but not the type of cool pirates we would all envision mind you. Downtrodden and misunderstood, Egg (as he prefers to be called) has a life that not many of us would envy. ![]() Young Egbert's story is very similar to many other protagonists out there. So off I went, falling page by page deeper in love with Geoff Rodkey's written world. If there is one thing I love, it's a male protagonist. Better yet, I knew that our young hero was one Egbert, a boy whose life was filled with mishap and adventure. After all, it's hard not to expect adventure when there are pirates involved.

Published in 2019, ‘The Body: A Guide for Occupants’ is full of astounding facts about our bodies – and reminders about why the pursuit for health is so personal. In fact, it wasn’t until we read Bill Byson’s overview of the human body that we started to really appreciate how large and complex each of the worlds are inside of us. And on those off days where your mind drifts to consider your internal bits, you probably think about the big things – like your heart or lungs.
