Ned's classmate Portia Leoni won last year's Miss Pretty Face River
Heights Beauty Pageant. But after Portia was accused of shoplifting
dresses from a local boutique, her crown was taken away from her.
Portia claims that she's innocent, but why would someone want to
frame her?
To find out more, I'm going undercover -- as a pageant contestant
But going undercover in Miss Pretty Face may be my toughest
challenge yet. Everyone seems to have a motive
Who knew it was so hard to walk, smile, and wave? I have to find
out the truth before someone finds out that I'm anything but a
beauty queen
Deadknobs And Doomsticks is a collection of twelve illustrated
short horror stories. Ranging from the darkly bizarre to the
horrifically surreal, many of the stories are laced with a theme of
bullying and bullies. Dark undertones and malevolent overtones
interweave with characters and situations that pull the reader to

the stories, each with a delicious payoff for the reader. Joe
Pasquale shows that where there is laughter there is also a dark
and disturbing voice that is drawn to the horror genre to find its
release. With illustrations by the author, this collection shows a
rich depth of talent as an artist and author. Joe shows he has as
unique a voice in the world of horror writing, as it is in comedy.

Toe die Viermanskap uitgedaag word tot ’n fietsresies maar Jasper ’n verpligte debatvergadering moet bywoon, is dit een te veel vir hom. Hy begin planne beraam om skelm uit die koshuis te glip …
