There was once a friendly ghost, by the name of Gus, who lived in an old house in the country. Mr. and Mrs. Scott and their twins, Susie and Sammy, lived there too during the summer. Then autumn came and the Scott family left. Which meant Gus had nothing to do but sit around. One day, during a walk, he met Mouse, who was cold and hungry. "Come spend the winter at my house!" cried Gus. Thus begins an unlikely but heartwarming friendship. First published in 1962, children have delighted in this story and other Gus the Ghost books for over fifty years. Seymour Fleishman's sweet, nostalgic illustrations bring Gus, the Scotts and Mouse to life.

Twin sisters pull off a daring identity switch in this contemporary classic from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sisterhood series. Atlanta police detective Aggie Jade is still recovering from the raid that nearly killed her and took the life of her partner and former boyfriend. Though she’s not ready to hit the streets again, she’s desperate to hunt down the cop killers who shattered her world. But there’s only one person who can help her in her quest for vengeance—her identical twin sister. Lizzie Jade is as flashy and fiery as Aggie is quiet and conservative—and the high-rolling Vegas gambler loves a challenge. But the gutsy charade gets complicated when sexy investigative reporter Nathan Hawke senses something different about the new Aggie, especially since she suddenly isn’t shying away from his flirtations. As they join forces to uncover a web of lies and corruption, Lizzie finds herself giving in to his charms. But how can she confess that she’s not who he thinks she is? And how can she let herself fall in love when she and her twin might have to run for their lives? With her signature “real and endearing” (Los Angeles Times) prose and plenty of electrifying suspense, Fern Michaels delivers another unforgettable romantic thriller.
