Driver's Ed by Caroline B. Cooney

What teenager doesn't look forward to getting his/her driver's license? Remy loved to drive and can't wait to get hers. Morgan wanted his as long as he can remember. Both meet when they take the driver's ed class. But when a group goes out to take (steal) a few road signs for fun, life changes for everyone. What was a night of fun turns into tragedy that changes the lives of both the innocent and the guilty with choices to be made that will ruin some lives or set in motion the healing that is needed for other.

Curses, INC. and Other Stories by Vivian Vande Velde

While some of the stories are better than others, those at are great make up for the rest. Stories range from a boy who tries a new website "Curses, INC." to get back at a girl but doesn't quite works out as he plans, to a man who learns what his cat and dog are really thinking (I learned to never turn my dead back to my cats), to letting the dead stay dead. If you don't like one, just go to the next.

A Drowned Maiden's Hair; a Meldodrama by Laura Amy Schlitz

I had to buy 2 extra copies of this book to meet the demand once the word got out about this book. By a Newbery Award winning author, it is a story of Maude Flynn, her need to find the love of a family, the spiritualists movement in the late 1800's and a mother's love of her dead child. What would you do to get someone to love you and what would you do for someone you love? Does the ghost really guide everyone to so called happy ending?

The Ghost Squad Flies the Concorde by E. W. Hildick

While this cover is different from the hardback books in most libraries, it does show the members of ghost squad, which unlike today's TV show are ghosts not ghost hunters. In this book, they have to work together to save Danny's living family from being killed. Using the computer that put Gomez on the ghost squad to communicate to the 2 living members, they must find a way to stop the man who will stop at nothing to get the money earned by Danny's death. But they must also watch out for the one thing that can kill a ghost while they are trying to put an end to this evil plot. While this series is over 20 years old, any publisher reading this blog should try to bring it back into print so my readers can enjoy the whole series.
