Imagine waking up and going about your normal routine. Making breakfast, going to work, doing some holiday shopping. Now imagine receiving a call from your doctor telling you to dial 911 because the report on the blood he drew during your examination only hours earlier showed you were in the middle of a heart attack. Imagine finding yourself in the Emergency Room being told you needed major open heart surgery to survive. Now imagine you die...Dawn Cypret doesn't have to imagine any of this because she lived it. But the truly miraculous part of her story happened after her heart stopped beating.

My name is Shelby Scott, and up until a year ago I would describe myself as normal. Really normal… like disgustingly normal. But that was before I was tossed headfirst into a crazy spooky soap opera. (I named it Days of our Afterlives) It all started when I discovered a ghost in my barn. A ghost with a curse a past and a ghostly mournful girlfriend. Did I mention a ghostly enemy as well? Yeah, I got the whole cast. (Go me!)Anyway, I manage somehow, to get Jesse (ghost number 1) and Martha (ghost number 2) back together. I thought woo-hoo! The curse is broken and everyone can cross over into the great beyond and I can get my barn back. Wrong. Wrong…wrong…wrong!!! After a freaky tornado suck us up you won’t believe where, or should I say when, we end up.Suddenly I have a lot more worries than just eliminating my ghost problem!

Is this another collection of stupid poems that children cannot use? Will they look hopelessly through this volume for poems that suit them? Will they say despairingly, "This is too long," and "That is too hard," and "I don't like that because it is not interesting"? Are there three or four pleasing poems and are all the rest put in to fill up the book? Nay, verily! The poems in this collection are those that children love. With the exception of seven, they are short enough for children to commit to memory without wearying themselves or losing interest in the poem.

Excerpt from Seen and Heard: Before and After 1914The mother was a tall finely made woman. A faded green tartan shawl fell cornerwise from her shoulders almost to her heels, and on her crisply curled yellow hair she wore a knitted woollen cap. She carried a bundle of tin cans that clashed together as the wind beat against them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
