Book Description
Josie is a fifteen-year-old high school theater geek who has been able to communicate with the dead ever since she hit her head on a rock during last summer's adventure camp. Now, it's Halloween and the only thing she wants is to be a normal teenager... to go to football games and costume parties, hang out with her friends, talk about boyfriends, and complain about homework and her parents, but she cannot escape the spirits of the dead. And while studying the Salem Witch Trials in school, Josie begins to doubt her own sanity and fear the reaction if anyone besides her closest friends knew of her ability. Would she be called a witch? Would people think she's weird, crazy, or evil? Just when she believes things are turning around, Josie finds herself haunted by the band of witch-killers who destroyed the village of Fishkill Pond centuries ago. With the help of her live friends Jenna, Simon, and Dave - and a few dead ones as well - Josie must find a way to help the men who are tormenting her and haunting land of Fishkill Pond or risk being cursed by them forever.

Pages : 217
Book Description
“A shadowed figure stood in the doorway directly opposite from where Josie lay. She told herself that it must be Adam, but reason argued that the figure before her was too tall and too wide, almost filling the entire doorway. Thunder shook the house while lightning flashed and for a split-second she could see him clearly. He wore a dark tailored suit with a high-collared shirt pinched at the throat with a tie, and a tall, wide-brimmed hat that cast a shadow over his face so again she couldn’t see his eyes. But she knew he was watching her. Terror froze her. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t speak.” While on a summer adventure camp in the Northern Maine woods, Josie – a theater geek who prefers ballet shoes to hiking boots – and her fellow campers find themselves forced to take shelter in an abandoned house in the middle of the forest. Each will have their own brush with the supernatural as they confront the long-dead residents of the home, but after a bump on the head, Josie will be taken above and beyond any comfortable reality she has known so far. She will be thrust into finding an inner strength she hadn’t known she possessed and into facing a love deeper than she knew possible. And as Josie and her new friends step into a world of paranormal possibilities never before known to them, how will their experiences forever change her life and the lives of those she is now closest with?

Washington's Spies
Author: Alexander Rose
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 055339259X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Turn: Washington’s Spies, now an original series on AMC Based on remarkable new research, acclaimed historian Alexander Rose brings to life the true story of the spy ring that helped America win the Revolutionary War. For the first time, Rose takes us beyond the battlefront and deep into the shadowy underworld of double agents and triple crosses, covert operations and code breaking, and unmasks the courageous, flawed men who inhabited this wilderness of mirrors—including the spymaster at the heart of it all. In the summer of 1778, with the war poised to turn in his favor, General George Washington desperately needed to know where the British would strike next. To that end, he unleashed his secret weapon: an unlikely ring of spies in New York charged with discovering the enemy’s battle plans and military strategy. Washington’s small band included a young Quaker torn between political principle and family loyalty, a swashbuckling sailor addicted to the perils of espionage, a hard-drinking barkeep, a Yale-educated cavalryman and friend of the doomed Nathan Hale, and a peaceful, sickly farmer who begged Washington to let him retire but who always came through in the end. Personally guiding these imperfect everyday heroes was Washington himself. In an era when officers were gentlemen, and gentlemen didn’ t spy, he possessed an extraordinary talent for deception—and proved an adept spymaster. The men he mentored were dubbed the Culper Ring. The British secret service tried to hunt them down, but they escaped by the closest of shaves thanks to their ciphers, dead drops, and invisible ink. Rose’s thrilling narrative tells the unknown story of the Revolution–the murderous intelligence war, gunrunning and kidnapping, defectors and executioners—that has never appeared in the history books. But Washington’s Spies is also a spirited, touching account of friendship and trust, fear and betrayal, amid the dark and silent world of the spy.

Lossing unforgettably captured pre-Civil War America, when NYC numbered 300,000 people, and steamboats and railroads plied the Hudson River and its banks. The Hudson Valley was pastureland and farmland surrounding a few sleepy villages and a handful of bustling river ports, and Revolutionary War exploits were still a hot topic of conversation.
