Review
A very short story for, in my opinion, younger children.  A quest story that starts out in the usual way, with a group of people getting together to find the Green Stone.  Things don't go quite as planned however.  Well written and with a surprise or two.  A good introduction for younger children to fantasy stories.

Review
A short story that delivers more kamikaze sex than A Sudden Wild Magic! Definitely worth a read but not DWJ usual story, although her style is recognisably there. 

Basically, a cargo of Mela worms escapes from their chilled storage and wreaks havoc on the libidos of a shipload of pilgrims and crew before they can be contained.
