I knew something was there,watching me. Twelve-year-old tee didn't think she believed in ghosts...until a walk in the woods around her new rural Alaskan home changes her mind. She had her beagle,Henry, are stalked by a wolfish, decidedly spooky shadow. There's something out there-and it's not of this world. With Henry and new friend Quinn in tow, tee is determined to capture evidence of the ghost and unravel the mystery of its origins. But with every sighting, the ghostly presence of the shadow seems to gain strength. The ghost dog may pose a real live threat-that is,unless tee can stop it. By Elizabeth Cody kimmel

A terrible accident has transformed Billie Jo's life, scarring her inside and out. Her mother is gone. Her father can't talk about it. And the one thing that might make her feel better-playing the piano-is impossible with her wounded hands. To make matters worse, dust storms are devastating the family farm and all the farms nearby. While others flee from the dust bowl, Billie Jo is left to find peace in the bleak landscape of Oklahoma-and in the surprising landscape of her own heart.
