Book 3 of The Ghost Handler SeriesHeather's got a hunky new guy and a grumpy old ghost. First it was Jack, the hot teenage ghost. Now it's Zac, an all-too-alive bad boy. Not to mention trouble with Drew, Audrey and the usual Bff dramas. The last thing Heather needs is a new haint on the scene, especially not the ghost of her cantankerous grandfather. Four weeks were all that was left of summer vacation, if you counted Thursday registration the first week of August, and I did. I had made some progress on the summer goal front. 1)My older sister Audrey tolerated my existence more than at the beginning of summer, as long as her friends weren't around and my geeky friend Xavier kept his distance. 2)Drew and I chatted. So at least I was on his radar. But he had a clingy girlfriend I wanted to unwrap from his frame. Then trouble arrived in a muscle car-our neighbors' bad boy grandson Zac. Audrey called dibs on him, which was fine with me. Drew made no bones about disliking him, also fine with me. But for some reason I may never understand, Zac liked freaky me. So you know what that meant-my progress with my sister and the lifeguard of my dreams reached yet another stumbling block. My problems multiplied exponentially at the arrival of another visitor and his sweet pipe tobacco scent-my ghostly grandfather. Just what I needed-a crabby octogenarian haint to complicate everything.

She does, however, believe in connecting with her inner teenager and in feeding her active imagination--it likes Italian food and chocolate. When she's not writing, she's working on costumes for the Northeast Atlanta Ballet . . . or doing the bidding of her husband, daughter, and cats Pixie and Turnip Ann.

Freshman year in high school is tough enough without another ghost in the mix. Ghost handler and high school freshman Heather Tildy seems to have it all-an older sister who is popular, a hot guy who deemed her date-worthy over the summer, and coursework just hard enough to keep her parents, administrators, and college admissions counselors happy. But as the school year begins, bad boy Zac returns to Alabama, taking the "cool" factor he lent her with him. Her luck sours. Her freshman schedule includes first period P.E., which means she's all sweaty when she sees her first love, hunky Drew, before second-period Spanish. And the only other freshman with her lunch period is pseudo-friend Suzanne, who doesn't really like Heather. So when a bossy lunch lady ghost in a hairnet pushes her healthy-eating agenda on Heather-before she'll even consider moving on to the next realm-Heather knows she'll lose what few cool points she has left. She'll have to think fast to overcome her guy and ghost troubles. She's determined not to become Pecan Hills High's sweaty, nutrition-pushing freshman weirdo-not to mention the girl who talks to ghosts.Although Georgia author Maureen Hardegree concedes to having all the usual baggage of a middle child, she is NOT a ghost handler.

Set in the picturesque landscape of the American southwest, the legendary jackalope comes alive in this appealing story of young Molly and a series of surprising and revealing adventures. Handicapped by only having one antler and ridiculed by the other jackalopes, Molly is aided through the intervention of the mysterious Grandal. Through him, she soon learns that the true source of strength is within. With that assurance and by using her own special gift, the little jackalope is able to touch the life of a lonely sheepherder and finds a mystical reward for herself in the experience. The door to Molly’s circle quickly widens to reveal her cousins, Priscilla and Abigail, the food-obsessed Jumbo, and an irrepressible magpie named Fraida. Enter also, Molly’s newfound friendship with a ginkgo tree and a threat to its existence from some of Molly’s friends. A new test comes with Grandal’s strange summons for assistance in aiding a trapped coyote, a fearful enemy of the jackalope clan. Adding to the danger on the mission is the proximity of the alluring, but deadly Matamor, an enchanting oasis. As the plot deepens, other jackalopes are drawn into the action, and Molly is increasingly confronted by her own doubts and fears. Driven by a sense of duty, but caught in the vortex of a powerful force at the end, she is swept to a startling revelation and conclusion.

Kat was brought into this world by a bullet. Her young father's idea of entertainment was to shoot homemade soap bullets at his then seven months pregnant wife. When a bullet pierced her toe, the shock introduced an unsuspecting child into a life filled with fear, adversity, and reckless encounters. Bullets chronicles the cycle of horrific events Kat endured throughout her young life. Hibbard's satirical tone offers an escape amid the chaos of smashed Christmas trees, flying bullets, and the darkness of a violent, abusive childhood barren of comfort. She seeks to shelter readers from the pain in the same way she protected her own spirit, finding the bizarre humor within the tragedy. The result is a story of unexpected triumph. Hibbard's sharply written memoir inspires us to rise above and escape the crossfire.
