Burkley and the Beasts: The Sea Serpent

"This book was very fun to read - Burkley is a delightful character with such a unique personality I chuckled at her food color preferences, and love her brave attitude in the face of outrageous adventures. As soon as I read it, I passed it along to my son, and the promise of sea serpents and adventure was enough to draw him in He really enjoyed it too." (Shari P. - Amazon book reviewer)"
