Wingspan(Paranormal, Young Adult) MAJOR EDITING**
Aislin Striker is a sixteen-year-old who just wants to be a normal teenager, but that's hard to achieve considering she keeps seeing ghosts. Since birth there had always been something abnormal about Aislin, and this went beyond her dysfunctional family and the constant attacks of her older sister, Avalon. But that's nothing a little therapy can't fix, right? Things seem to be improving until Aislin loses her best friend, Chanel, and then her paranormal experiences start happening all over again. Just like when she was a kid, only this time results in her starting a fire during class and getting expelled. Even worse, she is forced to go to Starkhouse-a reformed school for disturbed and rebellious teens. Starkhouse seems like an unfair punishment, especially with the way Toby keeps picking on her, but she does her best to pretend to be ordinary and stay out of trouble. But despite Aislin's attempts to lay low, her curiosity gets the best of her when students start disappearing at Starkhouse. There's even rumors that a poltergeist is haunting the institution and some of the other residents seem to be manifesting strange behavior. Maybe it's just a coincidence? Or maybe Starkhouse isn't what it seems....Complete

Gifted and Talented
Take a private, expensive, exclusive, but definitely non-magical preparatory school in the wealthy hills of New Jersey. Add one teenage boy from a regular, free public high school in a working-class town, who happens to have an extraordinary memory; not only of his own life, but generations of his family before him. And did I mention his prophetic dreams? He meets a teenage girl with an even stranger condition; bad things happen to anyone who hurts her in any way, and she has no idea why. Then add in some rich bullies, a terrifying memory block, a long-dead magician who tended to dress strangely, Tarot cards, a Ouija board, a family curse, and the raising of a departed spirit who has a taste for Polish sausage. The result? Why, a love story, of course.Complete
