Beginning Reader Featuring Decodable Words and Fun, Child-Friendly PlotsRhonda Lucadamo, a certified AMI Montessori teacher, discovered in the classroom that children had the most success when first given realistic stories to read. So Rhonda penned some for her youngest readers. Each book contained phonetic words so children could sound out complete sentences. The children's accomplishment was immediate! They laughed, asked questions and reacted to each story. But most importantly, they read. And then they picked up another book, and another, and another.Seven other books are available from Miss Rhonda's Readers Set TWO.

The Otter is the story of Roger Matterhorn (a.k.a., Rog'), a seaplane pilot in the Caribbean who escaped to the Virgin Islands to get away from a legal case gone bad. Rog's past catches up with him when he lands in San Juan to find that all of his passengers had been brutally murdered and he and his co-pilot were the only other people on the plane. This tragedy sets he and his beautiful and adventurous friend Jane off on a course that takes them both face to face with the conspiracy that almost killed him twenty years ago. The man behind it all is now running for President of the United States and Rog' is one of those "old scores" that needs to be cleaned up before the election or before Rog' is able to spread his story. In order to survive, Rog' needs to figure out who he can trust while escaping from a crooked island police force and a presidential candidate who wants him dead. The Otter is a quick read that is impossible to put down.

This story is a gem representing the delightful stories from the Indian subcontinent which capture the simple essence of everyday life in India. The simple pleasures of life indicate a time gone by before the advent of cellphones and Facebook, a time which almost stood still, a time when children could revel in the rain, make paper boats and race them down a drain, play marbles and generally pass time. The once idyllic life almost seems too slow to bear and hence is fascinating to watch unfurl as we listen to the story.
