That awkward moment when you realize you're responsible for your high school's clown apocalypse. Abbey isn't ordinary, not even close. Ghosts are drawn to her like she's some sort of a spook magnet-but it's not as glamorous as it sounds. Dead people suck and have cost her many close friends. Yet it gets worse. Something bad followed Abbey home from the circus. And now dead clowns are at her new high school, and friends have gone missing. Her unique abilities could help, but they also could be the reason for the clown apocalypse. Surviving high school just got tougher.

Class Clown

Allan Evans's groundbreaking biography of Ignaz Friedman gives the reader the behind and the between of the life and career of this extraordinary pianist. Friedman's repertory emphasized the major works of Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms, but he was perhaps best known for his interpretation of the Chopin mazurkas, which by all accounts he played with the same rhythmic nuance as their composer. Evans examines Friedman's life as a cultured Jewish musician from Poland; his studies in Leipzig and Vienna; his marriage to Manya Schidlowsky -- a Russian countess and relative of Tolstoy; and his performing career, teaching, and retirement in Australia.

Abnormally Abbey

Every serial killer has a type. But what if that type is part of a larger, more dangerous agenda? With virtually identical women being murdered in Minnesota, panic is causing huge political pressure to get the killer off the streets. Celebrated investigator Cade Dawkins is given the hot potato case and hopes to get it wrapped up before the governor has his head. But the killer has his own agenda-one that goes beyond simply murdering knockout blondes. As it becomes a cat and mouse game between killer and investigator, Dawkins begins to realize he just may be the mouse.
