As part of her punishment she is now sentenced to write in this diary for the next two months of her life.A typical teenager, Lauren is busy with pep band, swimming, and friends, but unlike her friends, Lauren is a freak, and it is all thanks to her family. Lauren is the fifteenth in a long line of twenty-five kids. And if that weren’t enough, a good majority of her siblings, that have been collected from around the country, are both physically and mentally challenged. She blames her lack of a social life on the fact that she has been linked up with this band of misfits.Diary of a Freak is an entertaining, 60,000 word, YA novel that will make you smile and groan through your teen years again. The witty look into Lauren’s crazy life will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like a freak as they battled their way through high school. It will appeal to the fans of YA who enjoy a good coming of age novel and to the general public who wouldn’t pass up the chance to peek into someone else’s diary.This is a semi-autobiographical novel. I drew from my own life experiences and deep vein of sarcasm to weave Diary of a Freak into the novel that I wish had been around when I was suffering through the mortifications of growing up in an odd family.

She has been assigned to discover Jack Morgan’s one true wish by whatever means are necessary, with only three stipulations: 1) no one is to discover she is a Jinni2) she is never to lose control of her powers3) she is never, ever to grow attached to her human. The stubborn Wall of Jack, as Kira thinks of him, has worked hard to create a life that is normal in a home that was anything but. He wants nothing more than to follow his meticulously laid out plan for his future. So, when Kira arrives in his English class with a rush of wind and spark of energy that knocks him off balance, he never would have guessed that she was a Jinni sent for him.

Even with mystery, magic and a timeless romance, nothing could prepare you for the consequences of two little words… I wish.

Ants By Jeanne Evans "Nature is no sentimentalist-does not cosset or pamper us. We must see that the world is rough and surly, and will not mind drowning a man or woman, but swallows your ships like a grain of dust. The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, and freezes a man like an apple. The diseases, the elements, fortune, gravity, lightning, respect no person." - Emerson. * "Terror strikes the heart of a small South Carolina town's Sheriff when the people in his charge begin to disappear. 'Ants' is the gripping story of nature going terribly wrong. This is not a book that you can easily put down. It's a page turner to the very end." - Faith Frenyea
