If you have a kid who likes Greek mythology, adventure, puzzles, and cheese--this book is for them! Robert has a problem when his annoying little sister Janine drinks some of a mysterious elixir she finds on the bus--and shrinks. The only thing that can restore her back is the mystical cheese of Eliki. But first he's got to find it, which means getting involved with the same secret society his dad was a part of when he disappeared.

hail

There's nothing like driving to pick up your husband during a sudden severe thunderstorm (cloud to ground lightning, heavy downpour, and hail the size of large marshmallows hitting your windshield, not to mention the rivers coming down the many hills this town is built on*) to make you realize 1) scouts is not that important and 2) nature is stronger than people.

All is not lost, however. Now we actually have time to eat the banana bread we took out of the oven just before we left.

* (The hail started just as we left, and there was no flash flood warning on when we left for DH's office. There is now. If there had been, we wouldn't have gone anywhere. Don't worry, we're not completely stupid!)
