Well, I wish Secret Water had never happened. It is the most boring book. There is so much repetition as they explore channels, go aground, row on some more, and then do it all over again, and again. The EGYPTIANS chapter is excellent, but it takes AR two to work up to it. As has been noted several times before, AR knew it was a dull story, and had to truck in the Amazons to bring some life into it. Even that failed as shown in the CORROBOREE chapter. This, after the Swallows had sailed the North Sea. Mind you, Bridget is somewhat cute.
