Some sweet reviews for "Jeff Walker & Mr. B" from readers at Amazon.com
--- 'I could almost hear Rod Serling in the background warning that you're about to step into the Twilight Zone.'
--- 'Haines-Ainsworth has polished the tale nicely for grown-up audiences, and her characters' personalities and peccadillos made my adult self laugh and nod in world-weary recognition, but there were still plenty of gory details to make the kid in me shout "Ewww, gross!"
--- 'It was just plain fun to read.'
"Bayou Bug Tales"
performed by the fourth and fifth graders of Brimmer & May School in Chestnut Hill, MA.
