Based on an actual crime in 1955, this YA novel is at once a
mystery and a coming-of-age story. The brutal murder of two teenage
girls on the last day of Nora Cunningham's junior year in high
school throws Nora into turmoil. Her certainties--friendships,
religion, her prudence, her resolve to find a boyfriend taller than
she is--are shaken or cast off altogether. Most people in Elmgrove,
Maryland, share the comforting conviction that Buddy Novak, who had
every reason to want his ex-girlfriend dead, is responsible for the
killings. Nora agrees at first, then begins to doubt Buddy's guilt,
and finally comes to believe him innocent--the lone dissenting
voice in Elmgrove. Told from several different perspectives,
including that of the murderer, Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls is a
suspenseful page-turner with a powerful human drama at its core.

The author of wildly popular ghost stories, Mary Downing Hahn has
created a group of tales for fans of her "scary but not too scary"
books. Even the stories without actual ghosts are spooky. Each tale
turns something ordinary--a pigeon, a white dress, a stranger on
the bus, a puppet--into a sinister link to the supernatural. For
the human characters, secrets from the past or careless behavior in
the present can lead to serious trouble. All the stories have a
young person as the central character, so all will resonate with
young readers who enjoy the eerie, the creepy, and the
otherworldly. In a concluding note, the author talks about how she
came to write ghost stories.
