Books with author Marion Crook

Rory hated the move from the countryside of Nova Scotia to the city. He hated having his cousin Megan tagging along and nagging him to stop stealing. The threats by the gang to attack him and his cousin are complicated by the disapproval of his grandfather’s ghost. Inhabitants of the graveyard both real and ghostly shout criticize him and make living in the city complicated, mysterious and sometimes terrifying.

Sixteen-year-old Karen Stewartson is proud of her ability to keep her emotions in check. Common sense and reason are the keys to getting through life, especially this summer when her mother is away and Karen takes on extra responsibilities on the family cattle ranch. Even Kevin, who has known her forever, cannot break through the wall of self-control Karen has built around herself. But this summer someone begins to poison the livestock, and events spiral out of control. Karen's belief in herself crumbles as she struggles to keep a tight rein on her emotions. Without anger, hate or even love, can she really be as mature as she has always thought?

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
