In this spine-tingling story from Newbery Medal winner Avi, a boy
must solve the mystery of the ghost haunting him. Full of twists
and turns that get spookier by the chapter, School of the Dead is a
fast-paced mystery that Avi's fans will devour! For most of Tony
Gilbert's life, he has thought of his uncle as "Weird Uncle
Charlie." That is, until Uncle Charlie moves in with Tony and his
family. Uncle Charlie is still odd, of course-talking about spirits
and other supernatural stuff-but he and Tony become fast friends,
and Tony ends up having a lot of fun with Uncle Charlie. When Uncle
Charlie dies suddenly, Tony is devastated. Then he starts seeing
Uncle Charlie everywhere! It doesn't help that Tony switched
schools-it was Uncle Charlie's dying wish that Tony attend the
Penda School, where Uncle Charlie himself went as a kid. The Penda
School is eerie enough without his uncle's ghost making it worse.
On top of that, rumors have been circulating about a student who
went missing shortly before Tony arrived. Could that somehow be
related to Uncle Charlie's ghost?

and mysterious Alaskan scenery as a backdrop, Nancy and company
have to find out who's trying to sabotage the maiden voyage and
why.

thriller where students at an elite prep school are forced to
confront their secrets when their ex-best friend turns up dead.

top-ranked junior at Sinclair Prep, goes missing, and then is found
dead. Nancy is even more shocked when word starts to spread that
she and her friends - Krystal, Akil, and Alexander - are the prime
suspects, thanks to "the Proctor," someone anonymously
incriminating them via the school's social media app. They all used
to be Jamie's closest friends, and she knew each of their deepest,
darkest secrets. Now, somehow the Proctor knows them, too. The four
must uncover the true killer before The Proctor exposes more than
they can bear and costs them more than they can afford, like
Nancy's full scholarship. Soon, Nancy suspects that her friends may
be keeping secrets from her, too. Katie Zhao's YA debut is an
edge-of-your-seat drama set in the pressure-cooker world of
academics and image at Sinclair Prep, where the past threatens the
future these teens have carefully crafted for themselves. How We

The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio (1923) is an adventure novel
by L.P. Wyman and one of seven books in his vastly underrated-and
relatively unknown-Golden Boys series. Each novel follows the
adventures of Bob and Jack Golden, brothers from Maine with curious
minds and adventurous hearts. Together, often alongside their
trusted friend Rex Dale, the Golden Boys use their problem-solving
skills and wilderness experience to overcome danger, discover
strange places, and grow into fine young men. While fishing on a
lake near their family cabin in the woods of northern Maine,
brothers Bob and Jack Golden encounter a strange man with an
accent. Curious-and a little worried-at first, the boys return to
the peace of the great outdoors for a few more hours. That night,
however, a man tries to break into their cabin, and after scaring
him off with a gun the brothers wait until morning before making
their way home to Skowhegan. There to meet them on their arrival is
revenue officer Jim Carson, who is desperate for help on a case
involving bootleggers from Canada. Eager to get to the bottom of
the previous night's mystery, as well as to put their newly
invented radio to the test, the Golden Boys agree to help Jim. The
ensuing adventure, which involves a vanishing cabin, daring
rescues, and abundant danger, the Golden Boys will need their wits
about them, as well as to use every skill they can muster. With its
brilliant blend of detective and adventure fiction, L.P. Wyman's
The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio is an absolute thrill ride
from start to finish. L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys Rescued by the
Radio is the work of an inventive author, and is both easy to read
and difficult to put down. Published several years before the debut
of The Hardy Boys series, which would dominate young adult fiction
for decades to come, The Golden Boys series is long overdue for the
attention and appreciation it deserves. Although originally
published for an audience of teenage boys, Wyman's series is
perfect for children of all ages and genders, as well as for adults
looking to return to the simple, exciting fiction of their youth.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys Rescued by
the Radio is a newly unearthed classic of young adult literature
reimagined for modern readers.

the grand sites of the forty-ninth state: Skagway; the Yukon
territory, and Denali National Park. It's spectacular scenery, but
things start to go wrong almost immediately, leading Nancy to
believe that whoever was behind the unsolved mayhem aboard the ship
has followed them onto dry land. The girl detectives had better
watch their steps--they're on uncharted and unknown territory
