Those are the rules in Rowan's Glen, a remote farming community in
the Missouri Ozarks where Ivy Templeton's family has lived for
centuries. It's an old-fashioned way of life, full of superstition
and traditions, and sixteen-year-old Ivy loves it. The other kids
at school may think the Glen kids are weird, but Ivy doesn't
care--she has her cousin Heather as her best friend. The two girls
share everything with each other--or so Ivy thinks. When Heather
goes missing after a May Day celebration, Ivy discovers that both
her best friend and her beloved hometown are as full of secrets as
the woods that surround them.

In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US
Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview
convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold
cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship,
gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't
crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active
case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin
to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the
country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage
sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma
becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon
seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives,
he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has
his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None
Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the
monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside
us.
Kids will love this easy-to-read retelling of an old campfire tale that's a little bit scary and a whole lot funny. "I am zee Viper. I will come in one year," says the spooky voice on porcine Peggy's phone. Who-or what-could this Viper be?
In subsequent calls, the Viper tells Peggy he will be coming in one month, then one hour, then this very minute. Suspense mounts for ditzy Peggy until the final moment when the doorbell rings. Kids will find this story version of a favorite joke, with its silly twist ending, even more hilarious.
