In this fifth and final tale, the arrival of a team of cryptozoologists sets off a series of events that could reveal the deepest secrets of Eerie-on-Sea--and the truth about shipwrecked orphan Herbert Lemon. It's Midwinter again in Eerie-on-Sea, when legend claims the terrifying Malamander emerges to hunt--and search for its long-lost mate. It's the anniversary of daring Violet Parma's arrival in Eerie; a year later, she still hasn't found her missing parents, just as anxious Herbert Lemon has learned little else about why he washed up on the shore in a crate of lemons. What's more, the creators of the Anomalous Phenomena podcast have dropped anchor in town and are fishing around for Eerie secrets. Keeping ahead of the podcasters, Herbie and Violet set sail for the dangerous "Treasure Island," where villain Sebastian Eel's own sister mysteriously vanished years ago. Will they discover the heart of Eerie-on-Sea's mysteries, or will Herbie and Violet be the next to disappear? Like a visit to an old boardwalk arcade, this conclusion to the spooky, fantastical series will leave readers shivering with fright and delight.

Det är vinter i staden Eerie-on-Sea, dimman ligger tjock och saltvatten slår mot Hotell Pärlbåtens fönster. Därinne har hotellets hittegodsare, 12-åriga Herbert Lemon, en oväntad besökare. Violet Parma - en orädd flicka i hans egen ålder - tappade bort sina föräldrar på hotellet när hon var mycket liten, och hon är övertygad om att Herbert är den enda som kan hjälpa henne att hitta dem. Problemet är att Violet förföljs av en märklig man med krok-hand. Och att stadslegenden om sjöodjuret Malamander - vars ägg gör så att människors drömmar går i uppfyllelse - verkar vara sann.

Two Orations of the Emperor Julian presents a fascinating glimpse into the philosophical and political perspectives of the Roman Emperor Julian, also known as Julian the Apostate. In these orations, Julian eloquently articulates his vision for a revival of pagan spirituality and intellectual thought in the face of growing Christian influence. Through persuasive rhetoric and erudite argumentation, Julian advocates for a return to traditional Roman values and religious practices, challenging the ascendancy of Christianity in the Roman Empire. With its blend of historical insight, philosophical inquiry, and political discourse, "Two Orations of the Emperor Julian" offers readers a compelling exploration of the ideological tensions and intellectual debates of late antiquity.
