"Ghost story, love story, and mystery in equal measure, Helene Dunbar's Prelude for Lost Souls is filled with unforgettable characters who reveal the many ways a life can be haunted. Perfect for fans of The Raven Boys."—Lisa Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Magician seriesFrom acclaimed author Helene Dunbar comes the start of a spellbinding young adult series about a small town filled with spiritualists and one boy who wants out, perfect for readers who want teen ghost books and fans of Maggie Stiefvater, Maureen Johnson, and Nova Ren Suma. In the town of St. Hilaire, most make their living by talking to the dead. In the summer, the town gates open to tourists seeking answers while all activity is controlled by The Guild, a sinister ruling body that sees everything. Dec Hampton has lived there his entire life, but ever since his parents died, he's been done with it. He knows he has to leave before anyone has a chance to stop him. His best friend Russ won't be surprised when Dec leaves—but he will be heartbroken. Russ is a good medium, maybe even a great one. He's made sacrifices for his gift and will do whatever he can to gain entry to The Guild, even embracing dark forces and contacting the most elusive ghost in town. But when the train of Annie Krylova, the piano prodigy whose music has been Dec's main source of solace, breaks down outside of town, it sets off an unexpected chain of events. And in St. Hilaire, there are no such things as coincidences.Perfect for readers looking for:ghost town booksyoung adult lgbt booksatmospheric storiesgifts for teen girls 16-18Praise for Prelude for Lost Souls:"Dunbar invokes small-town intrigue and plentiful atmosphere with this haunting, romantic tale."—Publishers Weekly"A quietly compelling story."—Kirkus Reviews"Mesmerizing and haunting, Dunbar invites readers into a world of family secrets, anxious ghosts and a society's ruthless grasp for power that will leave you wanting more."—The Nerd DailyAlso by Helene Dunbar:We Are Lost and Found

Plus, his brother, Connor, has already been kicked out of the house for being gay and laying low seems to be Michael’s only chance at avoiding the same fate.To pass the time before graduation, Michael hangs out at The Echo where he can dance and forget about his father’s angry words, the pressures of school, and the looming threat of AIDS, a disease that everyone is talking about, but no one understands.Then he meets Gabriel, a boy who actually sees him. A boy who, unlike seemingly everyone else in New York City, is interested in him and not James. And Michael has to decide what he’s willing to risk to be himself.This book is perfect for:Readers who want stories centering gay boys coming of age Parents and educators looking for realistic historical fiction for teens Fans of Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera, and Stephen ChboskyPraise for We Are Lost and Found:“Dunbar painstakingly populates the narrative with 1980s references—particularly to music—creating a vivid historical setting... A painful but ultimately empowering queer history lesson.”—Kirkus Reviews“It's a certain type of magic that Helene Dunbar managed with this story... A hauntingly beautiful, yet scarring story that captures the struggles of figuring out who you are while facing the uncertainties of the world, a story that should be mandatory reading for all."—The Nerd Daily"We Are Lost and Found absolutely sparkles... she so perfectly, so evocatively captures the angst, uncertainty, and shaky self-confidence of adolescence that it might make you wince."—Echo MagazineOptioned for a major motion picture adaptation by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's production company, Ill Kippers!

'Getting under the skin of the United States, Helene Toye writes with wry humor, and shines a beam on facets of America that we all know and love.' TAHIR SHAH - author of 'The Caliph's House'. ----------------------- 'Integrating into American life? Not as easy as you'd think. Cultural differences can reveal themselves in the most mundane situations. Go West contains anecdotes Europeans can identify with, written with self-deprecating humor, while set in a land where many people often take themselves pretty seriously. H l ne's book is a real page-turner; a pure joy of a read ' TOM VAN DE WEGHE, author of 'Beestig China' and VRT correspondent for America. ------------------------ After her move across the Atlantic, H l ne Toye tries to adapt to American life AND her new role as a full-time mom. Time after time, she - or her children - commit faux-pas, which put them in awkward situations. As expats everywhere know, speaking the language of the natives doesn't mean that you will understand each other. This collection of stories is bound to make you smile as you watch H l ne try to master American rituals like the Parent Coffee and the Neighborhood Listserv. Americans will enjoy seeing their customs through a foreigner's eyes.
