An untimely death, a suspicious staff, and a creaky old mansion filled with secrets… The grand annual pumpkin festival has arrived, and crime-fighting twins Rita and Rhonda look forward to a lively day of festivities on a crisp autumn morning. With the whole town caught up in the excitement, what could possibly go wrong? But after murder strikes a remote retirement home, their celebrations are quickly soured.

Tasked with diving into a perplexing mystery and smoking out the killer lurking in their midst, Rita and Rhonda must unravel the heartbreaking truths in the halls of an aging mansion that has a dark story to tell. Faced with suspicious nurses, uncanny kitchen staff, and one old man who can barely remember his name, the crime-solving duo will need to act fast if they want to exonerate the residents of the care home and stop the real culprit from slipping back into the shadows. But the ancient manor holds many secrets, and the sisters might not make it out alive… Will Rita and Rhonda solve the murder and prove the innocence of an old man? Or will the care home and its chequered past be their undoing?

Book Description
Enjoy this small town paranormal cozy mystery series with an amateur sleuth by author Ada Bell. There's a killer on the loose, and they look like Aly. Aly's used to getting visions by now, but she never expected to see herself murdering the town's beloved yet crotchety baker. She’s completely baffled because, obviously, that never happened. Then police arrive at her house with a warrant. If she didn't kill Tony, why does she have his baker's hat? When Aly finds herself reliving the same day over and over, things go from strange to supernatural. Where did that vision come from? Aly's never seen the future before—only the past. At first she thinks the vision was a trick, sent as a distraction by the same person who killed her sister-in-law. But as she works to stop them, Aly discovers that her vision of Tony might not have been a lie so much as a premonition. --- Welcome to Shady Grove: where science meets seances. The Pie in the Scry is the fifth book in the Shady Grove Psychic Mystery series, which is perfect for readers who like small towns, antiques, supernatural sleuths, and slightly nerdy STEM heroines. Okay, really nerdy heroines. Fans of Stella Bixby, Annabel Chase, Amy Boyles, Lily Harper Hart, and Samantha Silver will definitely fall under this small town's spell.

Pages : 626
Book Description
Enjoy this paranormal cozy mystery collection by best-selling author Ada Bell. This three book omnibus includes Shady Grove Psychic Mystery Novels 1-3. Mystic Pieces: With her busy schedule and a new job at an antiques store, Aly has no time for unexpected psychic visions. But when a customer croaks, she must use her newfound gifts to find the real killer and save her boss from a murder charge… The Scry’s the Limit: Aly's just starting to get the hang of her psychic gifts when she literally stumbles over her favorite professor’s body. She’s devastated and determined to get justice. But with several people apparently benefitting from Professor Zimm’s death, how will Aly find the real culprit before they find her? Sight Seering: For the first time, Aly touches an object and knows immediately that she's in the presence of a murderer. Too bad no one believes her. Can Aly get the evidence she needs before a killer makes off with a fortune? Praise for Ada Bell "Mystic Pieces is a charming, humorous, and original mystery that weaves a tale of murder and self-discovery with heart, family, and psychic visions." - Reader's Favorite "This was a solid start to this paranormal cozy mystery series. I had fun reading this one. I liked the inclusion of Aly's psychic powers and how she tried to use them to help solve the mystery. It made sense how she got involved and how she went about figuring out who had done it. And I liked how natural and realistic instead forced some of the coincidences felt. The mystery kept me guessing, although the murderer wasn't too big of a surprise there were some nice twists along the way and I was never quite sure who the murderer was. I liked Aly as a main character and reading about her and her powers. I liked the side characters and how each had their own personality that made it easy to remember. All in all I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series!" - Lola's Book Reviews "A cute and cozy introduction to the quirky and devoted characters, Mystic Pieces is the perfect first installment to the Shady Grove Psychic Mystery Series." - Literary Lioness

In Our Own Words
Author: Jeffrey J. Shultz
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780847695669
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
If educational reform is to succeed, it must attend to the perspectives of students--those most directly affected by schooling but least often consulted about its efficacy. This is the premise of the first book both to feature student perspectives on school and to foreground student voices; middle and high school students are the primary authors of the eight chapters collected in this volume aptly titled In Our Own Words. Reflecting differences of gender, racial, and ethnic background, and school context, the student authors write passionately and eloquently about their experiences of and desires for school. Through their explorations of topics as diverse as bilingual education, class cutting, teacher bias, race relations in school, what girls need from their education, and innovative curricular models, these student authors not only counter stereotypes of apathetic teenagers but also clearly identify what hinders and what supports their learning. For both the insights offered and the freshness of the students' voices, this collection is a must read for anyone who has a stake in making school a place where students can and want to learn.
