Plastiki

The Plastiki is a metal frame with 12,000 gas filled bottles for flotation and is not only a boat but a message to people to save the water and environment of plastic waste. It's powered by a wind turbine, solar panels and a bicycle like generator. Plastic gets brittle over time and breaks down but doesn't disappear. Instead it becomes tiny molecules and is absorbed by the fish.

After 2 years of planning the boat is finished and is ready for it's voyage from San Fransisco to Sydney. The crew don't care if they get there or not because they have already raised the problem to the public.

Beast Quest Vedra and Krimon Twin Beasts of Avantia

Vedra and Krimon Twin Beasts of Avantia
Adam Blade
*****

After Tom frees the 6 beasts of avantia a 7 and 8 are hatched from a single egg. The new born beasts must be escorted to the nabouring country Rion where they will grow up and some day become good beasts of avantia. What beater duo to choose then Tom and Eleana, Storm is sick and Silver wont's to stay with him. The other beasts say good bye as Ferno, Epos, Vedra, Krimon, Eleana and tom set out on there quest. Getting to Rion is easy but making the beasts safe is another mater as Tom and Eleana find out when they encounter a volcano, huge maze, the not so huge valley of fire not as dramatic as it seems, and the first encounter of Toms Archenemies Seth. Will Malvel get the beast on his side forever?

Interesting facts, at the end of the book Ferno stays with Vedra and Krimon till the rest of their training to become a good beast. But in the next series, the second book has Ferno come to help to against Claw so it takes one whole book for Vedra and Krimon to finish training. Also its the Kings birthday and in Arachnid it's also king Hugo's birthday so it takes a year for Tom to defeat Zepha, Claw, Soltra, and Vipero.

When Tom meets him Tom gets hit by the wip, but insted of going insan it makes a evil duplacet Tom and so he calls Ferno himself. A brave boy, a girl with arrows, and a fire beathing dragon vs a boy equily maching the other and a soul sucking bat-beast crip with a wip. Will Aduro's soul be saved? I'm not going to tell you am I.

Beast Quest Sephir the Storm Monster

Sephir the Storm Monster
Adam Blade
****

Every generation the hero of avantia and his arch nemesis must battle for the book of worlds. Tom is obviously the hero and it turns out Seth is his arch nemesis, each must choose one beast to battle with and the only other people are the hero's friends. But every one knows that Malvel likes to cheat so Sethrina comes to join the battle, Seth chooses Claw, Vipero and Trillion which combine to make a super beast, and Sephir comes and steals the book.

It's a good book but it seams to be placed after Tom fights trillion, before Seth terns into a scorpion and not in Gorgonia. In other words it can't excised in the same time line as the other books. Unless Tom, Eleana, Storm and silver suddenly forget about the gateway to Gorgonia, start aimlessly walk around the grassy plains and go back when this story is done.
