Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>

<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#c00000;font-size:9pt;"><strong>Some praise for On the Soul of a Vampire:<br /><br /></strong></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:9pt;">&quot;Rarely do I pick up a &quot;vampire novel&quot; and find something new, and with On the Soul of a Vampire, this is exactly what happened...  Read it, believe it, experience the life of a vampire like you never have before. &quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a heartrending, surprisingly enlightening tale.   ...As such, it stands as a solid, welcome counterbalance to the overhyped vampiric fluff currently celebrated all throughout pop culture. An enriching, thoroughly rewarding read.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a chalice of spirited crimson to savor across the palate... a refreshing bite out of the undead lore.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Thought provoking, stylish and intensely emotional...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a beautifully written novel from start to finish with poetic prose...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I have read many vampire books--from teens lusting after vamps to the original &quot;vamp in bat form visiting the lovely damsel in the dark of night&quot;--but none has impressed me like this one...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;...wait until you find out what the author has in store for you! Her well thought and intricately planned ideas are fresh and exciting.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Love the unlovable, forgive the unforgivable... this novel has the distinct and original voice of a fine new writer. Keep your eye on Krisi Keley as you will be hearing from her again...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;To find an apt comparison, I had to go back to the vampires of my young adult years, Louis and Lestat. This author succeeds much as Anne Rice did, in providing us with complex characters who struggle with concerns ranging from the mundane to the spiritual. I don't think I have read a book since then that so deftly interweaves the supernatural with questions of faith.&quot;<br /><br /></span>
