It felt like it took all the strength I had just to press the trigger to move. My body was a giant shiver. Even my teeth chattered.I took the groove in the first corner, going in slow and coming out faster. But, it wasn’t fast enough for the other sleds on the test lap. Two red sleds zipped past me.In another second, I was headed up the hill for corner two. Jacqui’s Ski-Doo pulled up beside mine. Side by side we spun around. Whoosh and we had air, like twin yellow birds taking off. Thump, and we both hit halfway down the hill. I didn’t like the way the MXZ was handling. Jacqui pulled ahead and I let her go. By the tabletop I was already in her snowdust. I took it easy, looking for a line. The switchback at corners three and four were tighter. Jacqui was already exiting four when I started into three.Another few sleds roared past me, but I didn’t care. The front end of my sled was pushing in the sticky snow, not doing what I wanted. Had I damaged something in that rollover last week?I needed to get up to speed. I hit the trigger and fishtailed. The backside moguls came on me quick, before I was ready.Airborne. Landed. Flying. The handlebars almost ripped out of my hands. Thump. Landed again. Bumped by another sled. Snowdust on my visor.Good speed. My breathing was even again—this was racing. I shot towards the outside of corner two. Then I saw it.Jacqui’s sled was on its hood. Where was she?I hammered the brakes. Leapt off and left the MXZ rolling ahead. My boots sunk knee deep in the mushy snow. I floundered.Jacqui was underneath the sled. Her bright orange helmet lay still against the white snow.

When the owner of the Cool Ghoul Gazette learned of Nick’s super sleuthing skills, he hired Nick to investigate the death of a vampire in Transylvania, North Carolina. (Not a real vampire — there are no such things, right?)

Then months later, only hours before the start of Savannah’s Halloween night Zombie Crawl, Nick’ investigates the rumors that one of the “walking-dead” comes alive during the event — only this time he brings along his sister. Moments before the pair is set to give up and leave the old fishing shack, a body floats up from the dark depths of the creek and snatches Wendy!

No one believes Nick when he claims that the corpse of Heidi May Laveau pulled his sister away in a canoe — even after Wendy proves impossible to find. But this body-snatcher has a message for Nick from “beyond the grave.” Now he faces the difficult task of sorting fact from fiction as he seeks to discover the truth about the “walking dead” before his worst fears come true.

It didn’t click until that moment that change had already arrived. I was changing, things were changing, and I was finally okay – in fact, more than okay – with that. It was flooring, the idea I was looking forward to something more in life than Tetris and being cheered on by my friends. Those things still mattered, of course, but there was more, and I was enthralled there was more. FROM THE AUTHOR: Cross through the River Veil and into the world beyond the Star of Time in the Starlight Chronicles, a young adult epic fantasy series from C.

About Ferryl Shayde – Book 3 – A Very Different Game by Vance Huxley:

After the huge battle with a leech nest, Abel now has the key to Castle House, a big old house wreathed in lethal magic. But the key only opens the first door, leading him to the next clue. His friends want to help but the house won’t let them, and even the first puzzle needs sorcerer-level magic. Luckily Abel has something up his sleeve, or rather in his tattoo! Even so, he’ll need another missing key, and a way through all the other doors, before he can reach the mystery at the centre and claim his heritage. Along the way someone might work out just who or what a Fraggon is.Abel might make faster progress if sorcerers and an Archbishop would be a little more helpful. Even his solicitor, magical of course, can’t tell him what waits inside Castle House. Worse, magic isn’t helping Abel very much with schoolwork, keeping magical secrets from his mum, or a new schoolgirl he likes much more than he ever expected. With so many Taverners mastering their basic glyphs, some begin to think that magic gives them privileges and power. Abel and his friends, backed by Ferryl Shayde, decide to set out some rules.It all seemed so simple, but as with most things magical, a big explosion is only a careless moment away. In a few frantic minutes, Bonnie’s Tavern becomes a completely different sort of game!

About World of Shawn by Jordan M Ehrlich:

-= Stuck at home for the evening? Check out the “World of Shawn” e-book that’s 99¢ for a limited time! (always FREE w/ KU)! =-

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this “World of Shawn” with a favorite game of his childhood, “World of One,” he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World.

The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” and “Narnia,” so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in computer programming or video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World!

About Dead Man’s Hand (Monster Mysteries Book 1) by Eddie Jones:

In Deadwood, Nick Caden discovers the body of Billy the Kid. Is there a “ghost” killer running loose in this old west ghost town?
It’s all for show…right? Nothing more than Hollywood theatrics? “This is an authentic old west ghost town,” the sheriff tells Nick. “Around these parts the dead don’t stay dead.”

But Nick Caden’s vacation becomes a nightmare when this “living” ghost town takes a deadly turn toward trouble. Soon Nick finds himself trapped in a stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James. The shooter whirls, aims and… vanishes. Great theatrics, Nick thinks. Only then does he discover the body of a real dead cowboy.

Soon Nick is caught in a deadly chase—from an abandoned gold mine, through forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and across Rattlesnake Gulch. Around every turn he finds another suspect. Will Nick solve the murder before his family leaves Deadwood? Or will the town’s desperate need for tourists’ income bury the haunting truth that something “ghost-like” lives in Deadwood?

In this middle-grade murder mystery series, award-winning author Eddie Jones takes readers on a Wild, Wild, West ride.
