Gettysburg-Site of the epic battle that forever changed the
United States. Some also say it is the most haunted place on
earth.
In "Ghosts at Gettysburg," the third Oliver Family Adventure,
the Oliver family visits Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, site of the
three-day battle. While Tyler and Tommy participate in a
re-enactment, learning about the battle and those that fought it,
their sister Paige and mother Judy reluctantly learn of the town's
haunted history through frightening encounters of their own.
On their very first evening there they see pictures of glowing
orbs on the battlefield and meet a mysterious woman who seems to be
everywhere. While Tommy marches with Confederate troops and Tyler
helps man the cannons atop Cemetery Ridge, the Oliver women
encounter the ghosts of a grieving father and a sad young soldier,
forcing them to rethink their ideas about ghosts, spirits and
hauntings.
When the battle reaches its climax at Pickett's Charge the boys
find themselves on opposite sides of that bloody clash. There they
learn what it was to be a soldier in the American Civil War.

Dear possible reader of this book,
My editor asked me to write a third book in my series, "Tales from
the House of Bunnicula." And did I have trouble getting started I
was afraid I used up all my ideas. But faster than a writer can say
"What if?" I came up with a story It's about a lovable and smart
(not to mention cute) orphan wirehaired dachshund puppy named
Howie, who has a mysterious pain in his leg and is mysteriously
invited to attend the Dogwiz Academy for Canine Conjurers.
Together, Howie and his best friend, the very, very, very smart
Delilah, who speaks in a British accent in this book for some
reason, discover they must fight a sinister
foe...The-Evil-Force-Whose-Nam-C'not-Be-Spoke
Your friend,
Howie

and Lies of Ella Black 'A supernatural terror-fest!' Kat Ellis,
author of Harrow Lake 'Point Horror for a new generation' Kathryn
Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First Young, brunette women are
being attacked in London. 16-year-old, Irish-born Niamh has just
arrived for a summer of freedom, and quickly discovers that the
girls being attacked look frighteningly similar to her. But Niamh
is determined not to let her fear destroy her Summer. But can her
new friends be trusted? Will she be able to stay ahead of the
attacker? Or will she be next? Packed with voice-driven whodunit
storytelling, and a retro slasher-movie feel reminiscent of cult
classics Scream and Urban Legend, this dark, pacy, and
irresistibly-creepy debut really has something for everybody! 'Last
One to Die is by turns chilling, funny and gripping. I rooted for
Niamh all the way through, as she navigated her way through horror
after horror. As well as a terrifying plot masterfully told, this
book has nuanced, tender relationships between characters, and is
particularly good on female friendship. I loved (and was totally
fooled by) the red herrings along the way, and the final twist made
me want to go back to the beginning and read it all over again.'
