Intensive Scare

Tony Lewis

Sinossi

Doctor, doctor, I feel like reading a funny book.
 
I'd put this back then.
 
Rude.
 
A psychic message, a slightly portly medium, missing residents, and a strange glow can only mean one thing. Something is happening in Skullenia, and it's down to Ollie and the gang to sort it out.
 
With the help of Deirdre Clownpuncher, the boys try to find out where everyone's gone before they, and maybe the entire town, disappears forever. In an adventure to test the hardiest of souls, our heroes must employ all of the guts and guile at their disposal to follow the clues which, seeing as they don't actually have any guts and guile, means they'll be relying on other people as usual.
 
Join a cast of quite a few with whom you'll visit an interesting library, learn how Noggin hunts, and discover how ladies rate their hats in Intensive Scare, the sixth book in Tony Lewis's Skullenia series.

Splintered Reeds

Jodie Cain Smith

When no one is left to save you, save yourself or die trying.

The one constant in Jules’ life is family—the plentiful Martin clan. Domestic terrorism brought the Martins together under one roof to endure food scarcity, punishing Gulf Coast heat, no electricity, and no indoor plumbing.

One outhouse for twelve people is no way to live, but at least they are safe. For now.

With every setback and stolen dignity, Jules questions whether she wants to survive at all. She keeps the family fed, hunting and fishing along the shores of Mobile Bay while avoiding both US Army patrols and The Knights, a homegrown militia group determined to convert all of Bellefontaine to their radical ideology and rid the seaside community of anyone who stands in their way.

When two members of The Knights set their sights on Jules, violence lands on the Martins’ doorstep, threatening everyone connected to the family.

The one bright spot Jules finds is in a chance meeting with an 11-year-old looter who gives her a new sense of purpose and a reason to survive. She sees herself in the rebel-boy—independent, foolishly fearless, and capable of making costly mistakes.

Will she be able to protect the boy from rising violence? Or will they both become victims?

Deliciously Southern and with a break-neck pace, Splintered Reeds is a timely domestic terrorism thriller that explores the fallout of a divided nation, the strength of family, and the journey through the complexities of grief, and the fight for autonomy in a world turned upside down.
