A bad night for bullies / by Ghislain, Gary,author.(CARDINAL)502928;
"Until the Goolz moved next door, twelve-year-old Harold Bell lived a quiet, normal life in his little seaside town. He filled his days with reading, enjoying the boardwalk, and trying to stay off the radar of Alex Hewitt and his pack of goons who can't resist bullying a boy in a wheelchair. But all that changes when famous horror novelist Frank Goolz arrives with his daughters--fierce, beautiful Ilona and her trouble-making little sister, Suzie. At the Goolz house, objects move on their own, lights flash inexplicably, and a grotesque specter appears in the attic, leaving Harold a frightening question. Is Frank Goolz just an imaginative writer...or are his stories true? And when a gift from Ilona causes bullies to start disappearing, Harold suspects the work of a mysterious and terrifying ghost. No one knows who she is or why she's here, but one thing is certain--Harold's life will never be normal again."--Page [2] of cover.610LAccelerated Reader AR

The woman beyond the attic : the V. C. Andrews story / by Neiderman, Andrew,author.(CARDINAL)509018;
"This celebration of the woman who took us to the heights of a secluded attic and the depths of our own dark psyches reveals an intimate portrait of the famously private V.C. Andrews. Best known for her internationally, multi-million-copy bestselling novel Flowers in the Attic, Cleo Virginia Andrews lived a fascinating life. Born to modest means, she came of age in the American South during the Great Depression and faced a series of increasingly challenging health issues. Yet, once she rose to international literary fame, she prided herself on her intense privacy. Now, The Woman Beyond the Attic aims to connect her personal life with the public novels for which she was famous. Based on Virginia's own letters, and interviews with her dearest family members, her long-term ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman tells Virginia's full story for the first time. Featuring family photos, personal letters, a partial manuscript for an unpublished novel, and more, The Woman Beyond the Attic is perfect for V.C. Andrews fans who pick up every new novel or for fans hoping to return to the favorite novelist of their adolescence. Eye-opening and intimate, The Woman Beyond the Attic is for anyone hoping to learn more about the enigmatic woman behind one of the most important novels of the 20th century"--

The beauty of dusk : on vision lost and found / by Bruni, Frank,author.(CARDINAL)377298;
"From New York Times columnist and bestselling author Frank Bruni comes a wise and moving memoir about aging, affliction, and optimism after partially losing his eyesight. One morning in late 2017, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni woke up with strangely blurred vision. He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience. Overnight, a rare stroke had cut off blood to one of his optic nerves, rendering him functionally blind in that eye--forever. And he soon learned from doctors that the same disorder could ravage his left eye, too. He could lose his sight altogether. In The Beauty of Dusk, Bruni hauntingly recounts his adjustment to this daunting reality, a medical and spiritual odyssey that involved not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to, and gathering wisdom from, longtime friends and new acquaintances who had navigated their own traumas and afflictions. The result is a poignant, probing, and ultimately uplifting examination of the limits that all of us inevitably encounter, the lenses through which we choose to evaluate them and the tools we have for perseverance. Bruni’s world blurred in one sense, as he experienced his first real inklings that the day isn’t forever and that light inexorably fades, but sharpened in another. Confronting unexpected hardship, he felt more blessed than ever before. There was vision lost. There was also vision found."--
