This collection of twenty-two poems explores the fascinating lives of North American nocturnal animals. When the sun goes down, many animals come out. Crickets chirp their crickety song hoping to attract a mate. Cougars bury their leftovers for later, leaving few clues for others to follow. Armadillos emerge from their dens to dig for worms, leaving holes in the lawns they disturb. This collection of poetry from acclaimed children's author and poet David L. Harrison explores the lives of animals who are awake after dark. Stephanie Laberis's beautifully atmospheric illustrations will draw in readers, and extensive back matter offers more information about each animal.
A couple finds an antique mirror that isn’t broken, but still brings bad luck—“MacLeod can be counted on for a witty, literate, and charming mystery” (Publishers Weekly). According to Max Bittersohn, he and Sarah Kelling have witnessed enough murder and unhappiness, so it’s high time they got married. And though Sarah hasn’t yet agreed to such drastic measures, she invites Max to summer with her at Ireson’s Landing. But they haven’t been in the house ten minutes when they stumble upon summer’s first mystery—a mint-condition, antique Spanish mirror that is tremendously rare and valuable. Sarah has never seen it before and she doesn’t know how it ended up in the summerhouse, but the sleuthing couple will soon find this looking glass to be more troublesome than anything Lewis Carroll ever invented. As the zany Kelling clan descends on Ireson’s Landing, Sarah and her beau try to uncover the mystery of the Bilbao looking glass—a quest that is disrupted when a vicious next-door neighbor is found hacked to death with a woodshed ax. By summer’s end, Sarah and Max will learn that some murders can be solved simply by looking in the mirror.

The days and nights blur together as you follow this beautiful young lady, Charley, in her attempt to rid the world of dangerous and evil men. This trilogy covers Charley's adolescent years through adulthood--a murderous blood thirsty adulthood to be more descriptive.

Charley inherits strange gifts thought to be part of her father's Indian heritage. Charley does manage to survive without blood for some time, but the deficiency eventually takes its toll. A strange accident magnifies her vampire-like nature. Maybe it was already there. In addition, Charley has an unnatural connection to animals. Maybe the Indian heritage has less to do with her strange powers. Just maybe, Charley's superhuman tendencies have more to do with the Cula family bloodline. No one is aware of the mother's side to Charley's heritage. Her parents choose to hide that Cula lineage. Charley's parents on her father's side have a proud Paiute Indian heritage. In her youth, she resides near her grandparents. Charley is part Paiute and part vampire. Her mother's lineage is near extinction. Now vampires may number less than a few thousand in the United States.
