Liam's reality unravels when a freak bike accident leaves him with, not only stitches and a headache, but something far more unsettling-mysterious visions.Before the accident, Liam had his life all planned! He was going to be a famous bass player and had just been nominated to play with an elite group of musicians at Carnegie Hall. Then he touches his best friend, Connor's, vintage record album. Suddenly, he's seeing through someone else's eyes. He finds himself in a room hazy with smoke, carpeted in frayed red shag, and paneled in dark wood. He's holding the album cover, but Connor has vanished and a girl wearing a blue tie-dye t-shirt is sitting in front of him on the floor. She's sobbing, uncontrollably. Connor's album has opened a conduit to the girl in the tie-dye shirt and, now, she won't leave him alone. Each time Liam sees her, she's more upset and insistent; looming large in his vision, sobbing, and reaching out to him. She's preventing him from doing the things he loves and he can't get rid of her.Thinking he may be losing his mind, Liam confides in his sister and close group of misfit friends. With the help of a local shop owner, an expert in all things woo-woo, they soon discover that Liam has developed a psychic power - psychometry, the ability to pick up impressions of people or events by touching an object. The last thing Liam wants is a special power and he's desperate to get his life back. The group decides that the only solution is to figure out who the girl is and what she wants from him. They follow the one clue they have: the name Greg Ortman, neatly printed on the album cover. When they ultimately find the man they're seeking, the Misfits must risk their lives to save another and release Liam from the hold of the Girl in the Blue Tie-Dye Shirt.

A humorous, heartfelt, and fashion-filled contemporary novel about Macy Weaver, a young girl struggling with how to be her true self and make a best friend. Perfect for fans of From the Desk of Zoe Washington and Stand Up, Yumi Chung. Eleven-year-old Macy Weaver knows relationships are complicated. Fresh off her latest friendship breakup, she’s spent most of her summer break on her own. So when Macy’s mother decides to go back to college three states away, Macy jumps on the chance to move—anything for a fresh start. But Macy’s new home isn’t exactly what she expected. Her mother’s never around and her dad’s always working. Lonelier than ever, Macy sets her sights on finding a new best friend. When she meets Brynn, who’s smart and kind and already seems to have her whole life figured out—down to her future as a high fashion model—Macy knows she’s it. The only problem is that Brynn already has a BFF and, as everyone knows, you can only have one. Resorting to old habits, Macy turns one small lie into a whole new life—full of fantastic fashion and haute couture—but it isn't long before everything really falls apart. Ultimately, Macy must determine how to make things right and be true to herself—rather than chasing after the person she thinks she’s supposed to be.

In the early morning hours of June 5, 1968, The Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress ran down a fire escape, exclaiming, “We shot him! We shot him!” “Who?” asked a witness. “We’ve shot Senator Kennedy.” 2018 – Fifty Years Later. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Frank Caron is enjoying a highpoint in his career and the excitement of his new relationship with Sasha Frye. An amateur hypnotist, Sasha convinces him to let her treat his mother’s dementia with hypnotherapy. It’s supposed to do wonders for dementia-sufferers, but it backfires. Horribly. Under hypnosis, his mother makes a most unusual comment. “I don’t like this dress,” she says. “But I have to wear it for him to die. And Robert Kennedy must die.” Frank is stunned. So is Sasha. What are they supposed to make of a comment like that? Can their new relationship handle the burden of learning such a shocking revelation? One thing is for certain: neither can ignore it. What they do separately ignites the fire of ambition in Frank’s over-zealous boss, the District Attorney. It upends the California legal system. And it reawakens an evil that didn’t stop then – and won’t stop now – to keep its secrets hidden. Through it all, there’s one burning question Frank must have answered: was his mother a conspirator in the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy? What he learns is far more than a simple yes or no.

In 1970s Cincinnati, Kim’s overwhelmed, financially stressed parents dragged her and her four younger siblings into swimming—starting with a nearby motel pool—as a way to keep them occupied and out of their way. When Kim was eleven, they began leaving the kids at home with a sitter while they traveled the Midwest, where they sold imported wooden ornaments from their motorhome. But when Kim’s six-year-old brother crashed his new Cheater Slick bike and the babysitter deserted the children, what started as an accident became a pattern: Mom and Dad leaving for weeks at a time and the kids wrestling with life’s emergencies on their own. As Kim coped in the role of fill-in mother while dealing with the stresses of elite swimming, she struggled to shape her own life. She eventually found strength, competence and achievement through swimming—and became the second female swimmer to win a full ride to the University of Southern California, where she earned two national titles. Swimming for My Life is a peek into the dark side of elite swimming as well as a tale of family bonds, reconciling with the past, and how it is possible to emerge from life’s toxic and lifesaving waters.
