More Amazing Stories Author: Paul Jennings Genre: Fantasy Review: This book contains amazing and incredible stories. These are the stories in the book: Ice Maiden, Birdman, Little Squirt, The Harmonica, The Velvet Throne, Cry Baby, Ex Poser, Sloppy Jalopy, Eyes Knows. My favourite one was The Harmonica and Eyes Knows. The Harmonica talks about a magical harmonica with the power to do good or evil and Eyes Knows talk about a robot who makes decisions.
