Characters from Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time Quintet and Austin Family Chronicles cross paths in this story that explore the timeless themes of love, chance, and destiny.

"Tense, tricky, well-plotted, The Arm of the Starfish has all the stuff of which adult spy novels are made." --The New York Times Book Review

When Adam Eddington, a gifted marine biology student, makes the acquaintance of blond and beautiful Kali Cutter at Kennedy International Airport on his way to Portugal to spend the summer working for the renowned scientist Dr. O'Keefe, he has no idea that this seemingly chance meeting will set into motion a chain of events he will be unable to stop. Caught between Kali's seductive wiles and the trusting adoration of Dr. O'Keefe's daughter, Poly, Adam finds himself enmeshed in a deadly power struggle between two groups of people, only one of which can have right on its side. As the danger escalates, Adam must make a decision that could affect the entire world--which side is he on?

Praise for The Arm of the Starfish:
"Tense, tricky, well-plotted, The Arm of the Starfish has all the stuff of which adult spy novels are made." --The New York Times Book Review

"From the opening paragraph, which places Adam Eddington in a great airport, its atmosphere tense with hurry and frustrations, the story rushes ahead, never losing momentum." --The Horn Book

"What Adam Eddington] expects to be a quiet but interesting summer of work with the famous marine biologist Dr. O'Keefe becomes a time of intrigue, with Adam playing a leading role in the struggle to extract information on the doctor's experiments with regeneration of starfish." --School Library Journal

They are comfortable!
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
I really like them. Pockets are very helpful and the size was right for me eventhough it was suggested a size bigger. Washed both already and noticed no shrinkage. Very comfortable and the length is just above the knees. Great for hanging about, in the gym or even a trip to the store.

BIG GIRLS LOVE 'EM TOO!
Size: 3X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
I am a plus size gal. I was looking for some sleep shorts, but all the ones for us plus size gals were so short I may as well not have been wearing anything. I decided to look in men's shorts, and found these. They are nice and long, and the material is nice and soft. Also, unlike the women's shorts, the pockets in these are nice sized, big enough for my phone and then some. There's a drawstring, but the elastic in these is plenty to keep them up and riding at my waist, where they're supposed to be, without having to tie them. Typically I wear a 2X, but I purchased these in a 3X because I like a little more room in my PJ bottoms, and they fit great. The only thing I don't care for necessarily is that the elastic waistband is just a smidge scratchy, but after wearing them a while I found it didn't bother me. And the price is pretty good for two pairs - much cheaper than women's plus shorts. I liked them enough that I came back and bought 4 more pair!

Comfortable and stretchy shorts with pockets!
Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black, Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
For the most part, I've exclusively worn pants/jeans/slacks since my teens, I'm pretty sure that I've worn a skirt or dress on only 2 occasions in my life, and the skirt part was ankle - floor length those 2 times... Just to paint a picture for anyone reading my review knows how serious I am about hiding my almost reflectively white legs. At least up until I moved from the West Coast all the way to Oklahoma. Not only did I realize that I've taken California/PNW weather for granted all these years, but I quickly learned that I would now be wearing shorts every chance I get in this heat. These shorts aren't made with a heavy type of fabric, they are stretchy and lightweight, and they even have pockets! My wardrobe color pallet is mostly just black or slightly different shades of black, so of course I got these shorts in black. Plus Fruit of the Loom has been a known name brand for as long as I can remember. These are a great value for the money, great quality so far, and the waist is easy/self-explanatory to adjust. I would like to point out that the tie string in the waist somehow got tangled with a stray string or tie string attached to something else in the same load of laundry I put the shorts in. I ended up having to cut off the part that was frayed from getting tangled, so I suggest that the tie around the waist of theses shorts should be knotted/tied together to hopefully avoid the tie string from fraying in the wash or something.

You get what you pay for
Size: 3X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
These are certainly comfortable, and the material itself is decent. However, the material is thin and therefore prone to puncture if you are not careful. The biggest issue is the drawstrings are very poorly sewn in, and have broken out on every pair I have purchased. Instead of being a solid loop that ties in the front, the ends are sewn in the back. The fit is true to the size listed, as long as you are okay relying exclusively on the elastic waistband. They are somewhat acceptable for the price.
