I absolutely love these delightful books written in catchy and whimsical prose. The characters are fun and quirky and adventure abounds!&lt;br /&gt;In the series, Tom Golden is a normal kid with normal parents who is nevertheless called freak boy and picked on at school. A foggy little ghost named Grey Aurthur decides to be Tom's invisible friend and help him in any way he can, but then Tom is in an accident where he gets a huge head bonking! &amp;nbsp;When he wakes up he can see and hear ghosts! &amp;nbsp;This changes everything and the high jinks that follow are entertaining and endearing.

Rachel and I are co-writing a fictional book for middle grade readers (ages 8-12) called &lt;i&gt;Skyhaven and the Manifesto&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Skyhaven  and The Manifesto&lt;/i&gt; is full of mystery, transformation and magic!  Children will love reading about the exciting adventures and courageous  characters, while parents will appreciate the message of power and  integrity.         In “Skyhaven and The Manifesto”, 11 year old Trinity has had  plenty to deal with since her Mom vanished without a trace several  months ago. Now with the school bully, Cooper, hounding her and a father  who seems impossible to please, Trinity simply can’t take any more. She  runs away and ends up in the woods overnight where she has a vision of a  woman who reveals to her several powerful secrets about life. With her  best friend Noah, she attempts to make sense of the radical ideas by  organizing them in a scroll they name the “Manifesto”. Safe at Skyhaven,  their tree house hideaway, they share the story with their other  friends and together they come up with a plan to win over Cooper.  Unfortunately he has no interest in hanging out with them or giving up  his reign of terror at school. As events unfold, she and her friends  meet a gypsy who’s cryptic fortune leaves them with even more questions,  and Trinity must figure out how to transform her conflict with Cooper  while dealing with her Mother’s puzzling disappearance. Things come to a  head when, following a clue that may lead to answers about Trinity’s  mother, the kids receive a strange text that turns out to be a desperate  plea for help from Cooper. Now they must choose between chasing down  their answers or helping the boy they have been trying to befriend!&lt;br /&gt;Skyhaven and The Manifesto is full of mystery, magic and life changing transformation!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3113360811563763945-2906089720424408961?l=rachelanddawni.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachelanddawni.blogspot.com/feeds/2906089720424408961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rachelanddawni.blogspot.com/2011/03/we-are-thrilled-to-announce.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3113360811563763945/posts/default/2906089720424408961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3113360811563763945/posts/default/2906089720424408961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachelanddawni.blogspot.com/2011/03/we-are-thrilled-to-announce.html' title='We are thrilled to announce!'/><author><name>Dawni</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17762362906510518892</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
