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.

"There are no angels in Baton Noir. Only devils." Jude Lomax
scrapes a living playing the trumpet on the neon streets of Baton
Noir. Then she is invited to play at the funeral of the infamous
cajou queen, Ivory Monette. Passing through the cemetery gates,
Jude finds herself possessed by the murdered queen's spirit. And
Ivory won't rest until she's found the person responsible for her
death. If Jude wants to be rid of the vengeful spirit, she must
take a journey deep into the dangerous underbelly of the city, from
the swampy depths of the Black Bayou to the velvet opulence of the
vampires' secret jazz clubs. But as Jude untangles Ivory's web of
secrets, she is confronted with a few dark truths from her own
past... The first in an eagerly awaited series from the author of
FROZEN CHARLOTTE, a WHS Zoella Book Club title in 2016, which is
sure to enthral fans of Holly Black, Maggie Steifvater, Amanda
Foody and Stephanie Garber.
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.
