A great read for young adults and adults.Action filled murder mystery.The Audacious Ghost Adventures of Phineas A. Pennypacker is an action packed story of the hunt for King John's treasure which went missing in the 1200's and has been hunted by many throughout the ages...be they dead or alive."Not a sliver of light peeked through the angry black clouds and it was entirely up to my horse, Atticus, to keep us upright on that slippery, muddy road 'cuz the blinding rain was pouring down upon us blocking out everything 'round about. I could hear the wraiths coming up fast as poop going through a goose and I could tell my Atticus knew it as well. His thundering steps bore a sense of urgency and my heart was beating faster than a war drum. My ears were keen to the sounds of the wraith horses' hooves hammering the earth like spikes being driven into railroad ties and I knew the hounds of Hades were upon us Black storm clouds shot bolts of fire and sulfur, striking the earth with vengence as the fields along the trail caught fire, sizzled and sputtered loudly as the buckets of rain vanquished their chances of spreading. Then the sweet smell of the salty sea reached my nostrils and I knew shelter and safety was just around the corner. Leaning forward, I urged Atticus to push a bit harder in our effort to escape." -Phineas A. Pennypacker-

Lily and the Dragon's Ghost is the hottest new dragon book on the market. A book for all ages, it's a mystery-fantasy with ghosts, apparitions and other unknown creatures in pursuit of a crown which has been rumored to hold within its touch the ability to give the being who possesses it, whether it be human or otherwise, eternal life on earth. Lily and her best friend Ophelia along with their quirky friend, Bob, are on the hunt for the crown so they can give it to the rightful owner. Puffing hot, sulfuric smoke from its flared nostrils, the dragon slithered its green scaly head along the edge of Lily and Ophelia's bed. "Lily Quinn?" its voice grated like stone-against-stone from deep within its huge chest, "open your eyes," the dragon hesitated a few seconds."Now " the beast demanded with its pursed lips pressed tightly against Lily's ear.With her stomach shaking violently and her heart thrashing against her chest, Lily eased her eyes open and stared into the red, glaring eyes of the most horrible beast she had ever seen. She knew it was a dragon for she, with half-closed eyes, had watched the beast slip silently through the closed bedroom door. It was green from head to toe with scales flared up and spiked horns running from the top of its ugly head to the tip of its tail where the horns morphed into a huge barb. Its long snout ended in snubbed fared nostrils."Ahhh...yes." The dragon spoke as he slid his head across her face to stare with one red flaming eyeball glaring into her eyes."You are the right Lily Quinn. You have the eyes of gold."He snickered as if to himself."I am Bijou. Bijou the Green, you do remember me, don't you? Maybe in your nightmares or even daymares?" he rumbled and arched his long scaly neck back which pushed his massive body out so far it almost moved the bed and flared out its scales until they were standing straight up with little puffs of green smoke emerging from beneath each scale. The beast was so big its body filled most of the room.He continued speaking without waiting for Lily's reply."I have come to give you a message...when the earth trembles, and the cry from Dragon's Mountain echoes across the delta, run to the mountain. You will be expected along with your friends Ophelia and Buster...err, Bufford...err, Oh yes...Bob. Don't forget Bob and don't delay. Come quickly." With that said, the beast shuffled its massive body around and once again slipped silently through the closed door. Jumping from their bed, Lily and Ophelia raced to the window, threw up the glass pane and leaning out looked up to the sky. Hundreds of dragons swooped and flew across the night sky.
