  Unless everything she knows about the afterlife is a lie, she’s about to fade for good. Fortunately, everything she’s been told about the afterlife is a lie. 
  Karen Jarvis’s overthinking never stops, not even in death. To cope, the former child prodigy clings to the rules: ignore the visions when they intrude, or go crazy; don’t reach out to the living, or they die; tap the forty-two special points in her house in the same order every day, or fade. 
  But when a voice from the past pushes her to question the know-it-all people-pleasing that left her friendless in life, she launches into a fit of adolescent rebellion long overdue—and discovers she’s been lied to all along. 
  Piecing together the true extent of the deception, Karen’s off-the-chart IQ leads her to a weakness in her mentor’s ruthless scheme. Unfortunately, exploiting it means trusting in someone with an average at best IQ. 
  Bad idea. 
  So when her captor sets her up for an infernal checkmate, Karen faces a terrible choice: let her crippling fear of falling short undercut her one chance to save herself and the only friends she’s ever known, or out-think her tormentor’s every move. 
  If you love heroic underdogs, pulse-pounding twists and turns, and endings that leave you on the edge of your seat, then you’ll love Kevan Dale’s gripping novel of psychological horror.

And the people you read about in history were real live people, who were good and bad, and glad and sorry, just as people are now-a-days."E. Nesbit writes about some of the people behind the names, dates and battles of English History in this lovely book for older children.

  Amanda McKittrick Ros, a Northern Irish writer, did for the novel what William McGonagall did for poetry and Florence Foster Jenkins for the coloratura voice. She published a number of novels (all at her own expense) and in addition to being a novelist was a poet, her best known being Visiting Westminster Abbey which begins:Holy Moses!Take a look!Flesh decayed in every nook!Some rare bits of brain lie here,Mortal loads of beef and beer.The best account of her life available on the web is probably http://oddbooks.co.uk/amanda/life.html. C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and The Inklings were admirers and held competitions to see who could read her work for the longest time whist keeping a straight face. Sadly, all her books are now out of print but command high prices on the rare books market.Irene Iddesleigh, her first book, is a romantic novel, telling the common story of an unhappy, doomed marriage. The prose style however is unique. (Summary by AJM)
