This summer, Nina decides to change things. She hatches a plan. There are sixty-five days of summer. Every day, she'll anonymously do one small but remarkable good thing for someone in her neighborhood, and find out: does doing good actually make a difference?

Book excerpt: Lee Mandelo's debut Summer Sons is a sweltering, queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost. Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him. As Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie’s death, he uncovers the lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most, discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled Eddie’s nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin to crumble. And there is something awful lurking, waiting for those walls to fall. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Others to mend it. Every once in a while, a summer rolls around that does both. For Georgia, this summer is shaping up to be a big disappointment. Mama is busy studying for her biology degree. Daddy is working nights, and often the man who comes home isn’t Daddy. He’s a man who looks like Daddy, but walks a little wobbly. Who sounds like Daddy, but sings a little too loud.

So now, instead of riding horses with her friends at camp, Georgia is sent off to the country to stay with her mysterious great-aunt for the summer to avoid her parents’ fighting. There, a lonely Georgia meets a mysterious friend named Angela and together, they discover a magical lake—one that can make wishes come true. At first, the lake offers Georgia a thrilling escape from her worries and hope that she can use its magic to heal her family. But as things grow worse at home, a troubled boy appears at the lake and the wishes threaten to spiral out of control . . .

Download or read book Tangled Web of Friends Book I Summer Camp written by Valerie Lofaso and published by Valerie Lofaso. This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A shadowed figure stood in the doorway directly opposite from where Josie lay. She told herself that it must be Adam, but reason argued that the figure before her was too tall and too wide, almost filling the entire doorway. Thunder shook the house while lightning flashed and for a split-second she could see him clearly. He wore a dark tailored suit with a high-collared shirt pinched at the throat with a tie, and a tall, wide-brimmed hat that cast a shadow over his face so again she couldn’t see his eyes. But she knew he was watching her. Terror froze her. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t speak.” While on a summer adventure camp in the Northern Maine woods, Josie – a theater geek who prefers ballet shoes to hiking boots – and her fellow campers find themselves forced to take shelter in an abandoned house in the middle of the forest. Each will have their own brush with the supernatural as they confront the long-dead residents of the home, but after a bump on the head, Josie will be taken above and beyond any comfortable reality she has known so far. She will be thrust into finding an inner strength she hadn’t known she possessed and into facing a love deeper than she knew possible. And as Josie and her new friends step into a world of paranormal possibilities never before known to them, how will their experiences forever change her life and the lives of those she is now closest with?
