This was an interesting and entertaining short story (though I will count it a book as far as the reading challenge is concerned -- I'm several books behind). A young boy, Dan, discovers some little penguin-like creatures in the sink in the shed near his house. These creatures can talk to him telepathically, but his older sister cannot hear them. What does one do in such situations? Again, an entertaining story. There is sufficient characterization for the sake of the story.

What does one do in such situations? Again, an entertaining story. There is sufficient characterization for the sake of the story. We don't get the full psychological profile of each actor, but we get the essence of each one, even the skim-too-fast-and-you-will-miss-him doctor. A short story with a tad more depth than one would expect, at least more than I expected.

Short story that grows on you. This is short story about a boy finding strange creatures in his father's shed. He is faced with a choice of what is more important to him. We never know precisely what the creatures are or how they came to be in the shed, maybe if this were a longer story that might have been included or it might not. Short story that grows on you.

Very short story Quick read, cute little story but at the same time has a unique way to keep you reading it and wondering what these little Be Sirens actually are

What could be more magical than tiny, giggling, blue penguins? These creatures would seem to be a child's fantasy. But could there be a more ominous side to them?

This is a cute little story, although it has a surprisingly ominous twist towards the end. It was deeper than I expected a story of this length to be. I do wish it was a tad bit longer though.

Awesome little story! I would eagerly recommend this short story to anyone who likes fantasy, sci-fi, and thrillers. Perfect for young readers looking for their genre niche.
