Not only is Kaila losing her best friend but the Stingray cheerleaders are losing one of their own. The squad is more than a team, they're like sisters. At least that's what they thought until Trinity stabs them in the back. Now, all the cheerleaders are on the chopping block.Watching the cheerleaders fall apart, Zaria and Alainna joke about the drama. But, it's no laughing matter when they also get caught up in the fighting and choosing sides puts their friendship to the ultimate test. All of the he-said-she-said and finger pointing leads to a major accident with all fingers now pointing to Kaila. Will the cheerleaders turn their back on her? Will Sacha be able to say goodbye? Will Zaria's jealousy be the end of she and Alainna's friendship? It's a disaster of epic proportion. Can the Double Dutch Dolls work Double Time to fix this mess?

Eleven year old Primula Percy is not allowed to leave her tiny village but one day, three new children appear and, with their guidance, she comes across a nearby old House, seemingly left to fall down. Inside lurk a number of residents who at first do not mind her playing there. A few days later and they decide to scare her off and when that does not work, kill her. As Prim goes around the Hall, she finds a long lost family member and hears a secret relating to a curse that befell her family centuries ago. It is now up to Prim to overcome not only the curse but also defeat a young witch who has come back from the dead to find a magical and powerful chain. If the witch finds the chain then all hell will be let loose.

“A wild ride through the 19th Century Irish countryside.” This is the first of Charles Lever’s rollicking military novels. It involves a dashing young British Army officer, who is transferred to Cork with his regiment. While there, he undergoes what Lever calls “a mass of incongruous adventures”; or, to put it in the words of the hero of the story: “Such was our life in Cork—dining, drinking, dancing, riding steeplechases, pigeon shooting, and tandem driving—filling up any little interval that was found to exist between a late breakfast, and the time to dress for dinner…” The book is filled with hilarious stories and anecdotes, and all sorts of interesting Irish characters—including some penetrating sketches of Catholic clerical life. In the later part of the book, the story ventures to Europe where we meet Arthur O'Leary, who becomes a main character in a later volume. Lever was astonished at the success of Harry Lorrequer, and once remarked: “If this sort of thing amuses them, I can go on for ever." He did not “go on forever,” but he did complete some 37 volumes including classics like Charles O’Malley, Tom Burke of Ours, and Lord Kilgobbin. But, it all began here with The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer
