DOWNLOAD EBOOKTYLER AND LYMIE are at it again, and this time the action occurs on the wrestling mat - as well as in Tyler's overactive imagination. It all begins when Tyler decides to try out for the wrestling team and, after a few practices, becomes a fanatical convert. Meanwhile, his school gets a new science teacher, with whom Tyler falls hopelessly and helplessly in love. Most of us have had this experience, but few of us have experienced it so acutely as poor Tyler - especially when he makes a jaw-dropping discovery about his beloved teacher and his single mother. As one can expect from Daniel Hayes, the plot just keeps humming along, the situations are hilarious, and the dialogue is right on the mark. Hayes has a perfect ear for the way teenagers speak, a perfect eye for the dilemmas they confront and the heartaches they sustain. Anyone who has read the award-winning Trouble With Lemons or Eye of the Beholder (his two previous novels) will jump at this new softcover edition, the third installment of the Tyler and Lymie adventures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll his life, Gabe Riley has heard about sightings of ghosts and swamp monsters at Blood Red Pond, but he knows the green, scaly creature that attacks Ray McPherson’s old Buick one night isn’t real. It’s just crazy Rosasharn, getting carried away with his leading role in the horror movie Gabe and his friend Bo are making for their Gifted and Talented project. But it’s not so easy to explain some of the other curious things that start happening in Gabe’s neighborhood. Why is his father more melancholy than usual? What secret is his younger brother, Ethan, hiding from him? Why are food and clothes disappearing from their home? And who or what is behind the strange lights in old Mr. Lindstrom’s supposedly empty farmhouse? Gabe is determined to find the answers to these questions. But Gabe discovers there are far deeper questions involved, and he will have to confront more than ghosts before he understands the significance of the mysterious events. With his trademark humor and flawless ear for the language and concerns of young adults, Daniel Hayes has created an unforgettable cast of characters in a story that is part comedy, part mystery, and part a thought-provoking exploration of friendship, family relationships, love, and death.
