Beatrice and the Basilisk by Iii Mccandless

Beatrice and the Basilisk by Iii Mccandless

12-year-old Beatrice McIlvaine has a problem. It's not sixth grade math. It doesn't involve boys. This problem is bigger than that, and it has a nasty bite. As Beatrice steels herself to fight a threat to the precarious existence she leads with her single mother and a troubled little brother, she finds she's not alone after all. A modern parable about love, family, and killing giant flying reptiles, Beatrice and the Basilisk is short (8,000 words) but not entirely sweet. There's a lesson in there somewhere. If you can see through the dismal night sky, and beyond those dangerous teeth.

Bruce McCandless III grew up in the shadow of Houston's Johnson Space Center during the Apollo and Skylab eras. He graduated from the Plan II Honors Program of the University of Texas in 1983 and went on to earn advanced degrees from the University of Reading in England and the University of Texas School of Law. After teaching at Saint David's School in New York City, he returned to Austin to practice law in 1995. He is the author of Sour Lake (2011), Beatrice and the Basilisk (2014), and, with his daughter Carson, Carson Clare's Trail Guide to Avoiding Death (And Other Unpleasant Consequences) (2017). Bruce serves on the board of directors of the Worthy Garden Club, an Oregon-based environmental organization, and the Austin Public Library Foundation. He and his wife, Pati McCandless, live in Austin.
