Catastrophe looms in North Goethalsburg! When twelve-year-old J.D. is tricked into taking possession of a book of spells, his best friend turns their teacher into a zombie. The zombification of Mr. Katz creates general chaos and a not-so-terrific time for near-genius J.D. Teamed with his best friend Rodney, twin troublemakers, and an obnoxious ghost, J.D. must figure out how to change Mr. Katz back from one of the undead before he: 1. Escapes the janitor’s closet; 2. Eats their brains; and 3. Wears J.D.’s spleen as a hat. Can four boys armed with a slingshot, two boxes of jelly donuts, and a handy zombie guide battle their mindless teacher and live to tell? Probably not. You’ll have to read to find out.

Fifteen-year-old Stacy questions the strange world of high school, love, her role in a harsh universe, and life, in Normalish. People tell you high school's so great and wonderful, but they're lying. It's mostly horrible and full of disappointment. It sucks. Your best friend abandons you. The jerk you're in love with pretends to be into you, and then the big dump. The boy you've really clicked with as a friend decides to go all crushy over you, so you break his heart just like yours was--smashed into little pieces. Your sister goes mental, and you get involved with a guy who’s even crazier than she is (who you know is a very bad idea, but you do it anyway). Math only adds another stink of failure to the whole thing. High school blows. Just ask Stacy. She’d want you to know.

One summer morning in Tehran, eight-year old Naji woke up to an unusual sound. Three strangers were digging in her courtyard. Naji's sixth sense warned her. Something suspicious was down beneath the yard.Frequently, adults in her life had warned her about different terrifying creatures. The events of the day proposed to unravel many other mysteries. Without losing sight of the dig, Naji started to examine the myth of Looloo, the one monster she had been warned about the most.Her determination to get close to the dig and experience the abyss herself grew more intense as the hole got deeper. Getting close to the dig was not as easy as she hoped. Deep into the hole a digger disappeared. The second digger went down to investigate. He too vanished in the depths of the dig. There was no response from him. The last member of the digging party was the foreman. Long after the foreman's decent, her father was on his knees, at the brim, bent over with his head in the hole, hopelessly calling and listening. Suddenly, he heard a weak sound. The foreman was calling, "Pull up!".

Knitwear designer Melissa Morgan-Oakes revolutionized the world of sock-making with "2-at-a-Time Socks". Her ingenious approach showed delighted knitters how to simultaneously create two socks on a single circular needle. With that book, yarn enthusiasts said goodbye forever to second sock syndrome, the frustration of completing one beautiful hand-knit sock, only to remember that another must be made. Now, Morgan-Oakes turns the approach on its head or rather, its toe with "Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks". Knitters adore toe-up socks for both novelty and practicality. Knitters can try on the sock as they work, they never run out of yarn before the foot is complete, and they avoid needing the dreaded kitchener stitch to finish off the toe. Many swear that toe-up socks just plain feel more comfortable, too.

The author served as the city editor of the Charlotte Observer (NC) until his death, becoming something of a gadfly, alternately condemning and commending the city's political, social, and cultural elite. At the Observer, Avery wrote a weekly column titled "A Variety of Idle Comments," in which he reported human-interest stories and spun humorous tales. These columns were posthumously collected and published in 1905 as Idle Comments. Avery died at age thirty-two. (from a book summary)
