When Clea suddenly encounters this man in person she is stunned--and feels an immediate and powerful connection. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father's disappearance and discover the centuries-old truth behind their intense bond.

In a time and place where breaking curfew means severe punishment, Micah tries to reach home safely after being required to work past the enforced time. His excuse is valid, but if the police catch him, the ramifications will be dreadful. To the young man's horror, a police officer pursues him, and the threat of brute force appears imminent. Micah's fears escalate until Jacob, a stranger with unusual powers, intervenes and saves him from the attack.

Oppressed by government law that demands obedience and suppresses questions, Jacob initiates a revolution and befriends Micah. Torn between living the life to which he is accustomed and fighting a government that imprisoned him, Micah is thrown into a battle between society and the law, and more surprisingly, within himself. He must decide if he will join the fight to overcome evil emissaries who heartlessly hunt and destroy any potential threat, or obediently succumb to the corrupt government. No matter what choice he makes, there will be no way to return to his old life.

Inspired by "1984, Fahrenheit 451," and "Jet Grind Radio," Matthew McLean's unsettling tale explores the universal theme of good versus evil for a man conflicted by choice and trust in a dangerous world.

" "Write it down," you said, and so I have. Just keep in mind, it's been a while, and memory has ways of playing tricks, which is where I'll start since that is where Professor Skye began with me. Professor who? Let me explain."

Thus begins a young boy's account of his surprising adventures and unorthodox education as the apprentice of Professor Jackson Skye, the "Helping Investigator," who enlists the boy in helping others solve problems so that he can learn to solve his own.

Beginning his career in elementary school, the trainee works on over forty cases involving a multicultural cast of memorable characters. He graduates from his apprenticeship in high school after he solves the hardest case of all.

Based on real-life problems young people encounter, the cases in "The Helper's Apprentice" instruct, entertain, and encourage young readers to reflect on their own lives.

Pop quiz: What would you do if you had to solve your own murder to get anywhere in death?

Maybe if I hadn't slept through my alarm, slammed into Kristin--my high school's reigning mean

girl--or stepped in a puddle, destroying my mom's new suede DVF boots (which I borrowed without asking), I wouldn't have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I wouldn't have been pushed in front of that arriving train. But I did, and I was.

When I came to, I was informed by a group of girls that I'm dead. And that because I died under mysterious circumstances, I can't pass straight over to the Other Side. But at least I'm not alone. Meet the Dead Girls Detective Agency: Nancy, Lorna, and Tess--not to mention Edison, the really cute if slightly hostile dead boy. Apparently, the only way out of this limbo is to figure out who killed me, or I'll have to spend eternity playing Nancy Drew. Considering I was fairly invisible in life, who could hate me enough to want me dead? And what if my murderer is someone I never would have suspected?
