Neighborville. A small, quiet town located in a remote part of Washington state. The perfect place to raise a family. Everyone, 25,000 people living here, enjoys a simple life. Well, almost everyone. For one being in particular, life is not so well.Nate Timely. Sitting and looking out in front of a window in his tree house, he gazes to the west to see the setting sun, with its life-giving light gleaming red off the clouds on the distant horizon. Nate was an introvert, and had known no real friends throughout his life. School that day was rough. School life had always been rough on him.Most of the time, Nate prefers to spend time on his own, thinking imaginary thoughts. Imagination, a form of escapism. The only place where he could refuge from the harshness of reality.Suddenly, Nate heard a familiar sound coming from below, a creaking sound of wood. Someone was coming! "Who could it be!?" Nate exclaimed to himself.Quickly, the young boy snatched a hockey stick, moved towards the door, paused, then stepped past the right side of the frame. "I'll surprise whoever's coming up here," he told himself. "Whoever it is, they're in for something."Meanwhile, deep beneath the surface of Neighborville, danger was brewing. A sewer maintenance man, Louie, was called in by the city to investigate the source of unusual noises emanated from beneath the streets in the sewer system. Louie jumped when a sound suddenly bursted out of his walkie talkie. He picked it up and answered it, "Jeez guys! You scared me!""Sorry, Louie," the man on the other line replied. "Anything yet?" Louie kept looking on, flashing his light at the walls. Nothing to see.Louie responded, "Absolutely nothing, and-" Suddenly, an noise came through the walls. "Wait! I hear something!" Louie exclaimed excitedly, "Sounds like someone's tunneling."A crack came through the wall, a breath of foul air following from the dark crevice, and a deep chorus of moans came too, all growling, "Brains.""Uh, oh."…

A salty, gritty, exciting, heartbreaking and hopeful page-turner that leaves readers wishing for a sequel... The day his mother dies, Jabu's instinct is to run. He runs away from the Johannesburg hospital and soon finds himself amongst a gang of train surfers on top of a hurtling train. After witnessing the dark side of train surfing, he continues to flee from his hopeless life, all the while searching for a place to call home. He stows away with an unexpected creature companion as he travels from Soweto to Durban, hoping to find his aunt. Through a series of fortuitous events, Jabu makes interracial friendships (in a time when that was unusual), learns to surf the waves and connects deeply with the street children called Father's boys. Being an orphan in apartheid South Africa in the 1980s is perilous. The police are a constant threat and an ominous presence throughout. It takes courage, loyalty and friendship to overcome the societal dangers. On the other side of apartheid society is Billie, a gutsy tomboy. It's not that she wants to be a boy, but she yearns to be with the boys in the surf, living daringly. One surfer, in particular, has her attention, but their lives are all about to change as they become a part of a bigger South African story that goes beyond surfing, 80's music and escapism. Originally conceptualised as a screenplay, Trainsurfer is bursting with cinematic-style action. Threaded through with Christian motifs, the story is one of injustice, betrayal, forgiveness, self-sacrifice and ultimately, hope.…

Ghosts are in the house!With her parents away, seventeen-year-old Alyssa Dempsey is taking care of her two younger brothers for the weekend. On their first morning alone, Alyssa discovers that her baby brother Sean received a magical, glass wand from a pair of ghosts, who he calls the Buddies. Along with their thirteen-year-old brother Bradley, the three Dempsey children begin interacting with a dark and dangerous spirit-world, in which the sinister owner of the wand lives, and from whom it was stolen."The Essence (A Ghost Story in Three Days) is a fun and quick read that will entertain young adults and their young-at-heart parents. Author Vel Grande brings his characters to life with dialog and humor and paints both dark and light imagery with deft strokes. Krystle Carkeek's plentiful illustrations capture the emotion of the scenes, cementing each character's details in the reader's mind. The Essence is great escapism." -Gary W. Stout, Readers' Favorite (5-Star Selection) "The narration feels authentic, the characters are likable and loathsome in the right doses, and unlike many other modern young adult books, the charming uses of foreshadowing and suspense are reminiscent of traditional ghost stories, not ultra-violent animes or comic books . . . Vel Grande has succeeded in both building a memorable plot with engaging characters and, more importantly, making me want to know what happens next."- Bruce Duboff, Middler Books and More…
