Synopsis
Kathleen
Hayson thinks her biggest problem is her mother. The only runner up—her mouth.
With a wit sharper than her mother's perfectly manicured nails, her clever
remarks create more problems than they solve.
But
it's not her clever remarks landing her knee-deep in trouble. This time, Josh
Colby is to blame. Kathleen's former childhood friend has become the school's
most stuck up jerk. Before, she'd have told him to piss off and write his own
stupid letter to the town slut/minister's daughter. Now Kathleen's escalating
problems at home force her to reevaluate how flexible her principles are. She
agrees to write the controversial letter Josh has requested.
Enter
Rigel, a smartass magical creature who invades her room one night, promises he
has come to help her. When a boy Kathleen hates turns up dead and her mother
goes missing, the letter becomes a key piece of police evidence – implicating
Kathleen. As she fights her way out of a web of lies, the trust she has in
those closest to her shatters. In the end, she's pushed to a terrible choice:
who lives, and who else dies.
*Due
to occasional strong language and mature content, we recommend this novel for
mature teen readers.
Excerpt
FOUR IN THE MORNING
by Christi Goddard
My
mom’s a liar.
What
parents aren’t, right? They tell their kids lies about Santa Claus, the Easter
Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. Even the Boogeyman who crouches in the shadows
beneath beds has his legend whispered into the ears of young green
bean-haters.
I
wished my mom would use her power of deception for good. For one, I wouldn’t
have to chase down people in the dark, braving the muggers and would-be rapists
who lurk in the bushes on my street.
If she’d told the boy who came
knocking I was upstairs in my room, then we could have had a quick—though
unlikely civil—conversation on the front porch. Instead, she told him I was out
with another boy.
And she didn’t just tell this to anyone. No, of course not.
She told this to Josh Colby.
It
was the equivalent of having some celebrity knock on your door after their car
broke down. Except, as far as celebrities go, Josh’s status didn’t reach beyond
the doors of our high school. We’d known each other for the many years of our
educational careers, and mostly succeeded with our mutual effort to avoid
speaking to one another.
Mocking
doesn’t count.
“Josh!”
I
was too lazy to run for more than a block. To scream seemed an easier solution.
When a male voice called back, I smiled at my small victory of intelligence
over physical prowess.
“Yeah?”
He
sounded close, within a block or so, but I couldn’t see him. The sliver of moon
lacked radiance as it was smothered by dark clouds, but the streetlights were
enough to confirm there was no silhouette of him on the sidewalk. He must have
cut through a neighbor’s yard to head back to his house on the next street
over.
“What
did you want?” I winced at the sudden, sharp brilliance of lightning. Spots did
flip-flops against the stretched shadows on the grass as my vision tried to
recover. The scent of ozone carried on the cool breeze blended with that of a
fresh cut lawn.
“That
you, Elchubba?”
Elchubba
is not my name. Not even close. Not that many of the kids at my school cared,
and several might even be shocked to discover my real name was Kathleen. Not
Kathy. Definitely not Elchubba. To my eternal frustration, I won that clever
little nickname in junior high. Mostly because Ryan Dixon is a jerk, but also
because I was horizontally challenged and usually clad in black from hair
strand-to-toenail polish. It’s to do with Elvira. Lame, I know.
I just hoped
Josh hadn’t asked my mother if Elchubba was home. I wouldn’t put it past him.
Instead of correcting him,
I
turned on my heel and headed home. I didn’t answer him on principle.
My
house was still a sadistic distance from me when I heard Josh stumble through
some bushes near the sidewalk behind me. Oh, heavy black boots, how you’ve
failed me again.
“Wait!”
He
mumbled a curse behind me after the distinct sound of his rubber soles tripping
over a crack in the sidewalk. I didn’t slow down. Maybe he would follow me all
the way back to my front door so I could slam it in his face.
He
outpaced me to step into my path. I considered knocking him on his boney ass. I
had the weight and momentum to do it. A whiff of whatever cheap, man-scent
product he used to attract girls assaulted my nose. It reminded me of dish soap
and burnt popcorn.
“Please,
would you just stop?” Josh said.
“Fine.
What do you want?”
A
car horn blared a few blocks away, followed by the squeal of tires. Josh
glanced around like a super secret spy.
My
response was an eye roll and crossed arms. If he didn’t want to be seen talking
to me, then he shouldn’t have answered me. For that matter, he shouldn’t have
come over.
Josh
said, “I need you to do me a favor.”
The
laugh that escaped me sounded more maniacal than I expected. “You’re high.”
Great.
I wound up chasing a boy I hated down the street to do a favor for him. It was
not the pinnacle of my existence. At least I hope not.
“No,
I’m serious.” Josh leaned closer and dropped his voice. “I’ll pay you.”
“Then
it’s not a favor. It’s a business proposition,” I said. “If you’re going to pay
me for services—of the non-prostitutional variety—then it’s a business
arrangement, not a favor. A favor I’d do for free.”
The
hopeful look that passed his face prompted me to add, “For friends, not for
you.”
“Okay,
whatever.” Josh fished in a pocket of his too-baggy jeans and pulled out a
folded bill. It was too dark for me to see which president. He smiled, his
teeth a perfect picket fence of glaring white. “I want you to write a letter
for me.”
My
eyebrows lifted without my permission. “A letter? To who?” I didn’t ask why me.
I was editor for the school paper and wrote for the quarterly lit
magazine.
“I’m
not telling you unless you agree to do it.”
About the
Author
Christi
Goddard was born in Arlington, Texas in the early seventies. Her earliest
memories are of seeing Jaws and Star Trek: The Motion Picture in the theater.
The first was a bit much for a pre-K kid to take, and the second has much to do
with what has inspired her imagination her entire life. Her father is a bit of
nomad, and they moved a lot when she was a kid. She inherited this trait and
has lived many places and been just about everywhere in America. She hit
puberty in Colorado, got married in Las Vegas, had her first child in Kansas,
and her second in Illinois. She returned to Texas just shy of turning thirty
and has been there ever since.

~ Book Synopsis ~
Olivia’s best friend is not
imaginary. He’s not a ghost, either. And she’s pretty sure he’s not a
hallucination. He’s just Mason.
He is, however, invisible.
When Olivia spotted the crying
little boy on her front porch at five years old, she had no idea she was the
only one who could see him. Twelve years later when new-girl Robin bumps into
the both of them and introduces herself to Mason, they are both stunned.
Mason couldn’t be more pleased that
someone else can see him. Olivia, on the other hand, isn’t jumping at the
chance to welcome Robin into their circle. Jealousy may have something to do
with that, but honest fear that Robin’s presence will put Mason in danger is
soon validated when a strange black car shows up outside Olivia’s house. The race
to find out what Robin knows in time to protect Mason from whatever threats are
coming becomes Olivia’s only focus.
Excerpt
INVISIBLE
by
DelSheree Gladden
Without warning, catching my breath
seems impossible. I don’t know if I can handle the thought that someone might
actively be trying to hurt Mason. Before I can stop myself, I feel tears begin
sliding down my cheeks. I’m not the only one who feels them. Mason reaches up
and touches my face, seeming startled when he realizes I am crying. Not that I
can blame him. I’m about as much of a crier as he is.
“Oh, Ollie,” he says softly. His
strong, but gentle arms easily pull me out from behind him and nestle me
against his body. I curl against him as I try to shut out the fear that is
quickly swallowing me up.
“Mason, I can’t bear the thought of
losing you,” I whisper against his chest.
His arms press me against him
so tightly there is no space left between us. “I’ve already lost one family. I
won’t lose you, too.”
The night quiets as we lay in each
other’s arms. Slowly, Mason’s breathing calms. As he relaxes, my own fears
begin to calm as well. They don’t disappear, but they come down to a manageable
enough level that I can think and ask the question lingering in both of our
minds.
“Mason, what do we do now?”
He sighs. His fingers stroke my
hair softly. “I don’t know. I’m not sure how to get more information out of
Robin without telling her the truth.”
“We can’t tell her the truth. We
have no idea who she’s really involved with. It’s too big of a risk.”
“I know, but we have to stay close
to her, too. If she is a threat, we can’t be blind to it.”
I know he’s right, but I don’t like
to think about Mason being so close to someone who could potentially hurt him.
But what choice do we have? I look up at Mason and find him already staring
down at me with a look of concern. Something about the moment makes my heart
lurch. It takes me a few seconds to gather my thoughts.
“Mason, we’ll figure this out,” I
promise.
As his fingers brush against my
cheek, that strange sensation flashes again, but I am too anxious to pay it
much attention.
“Out of everything Robin told us
today, do you know what hurt the most?” Mason asks, surprising me by his change
in topic. He doesn’t wait for me to answer. “Robin said something like
sometimes it’s hard to remember ‘I wasn’t human,’ that I was sent here to be
raised by Caretakers. Do you realize what that means? Not only am I not human,
my family isn’t even my real family. All of the sudden, I’ve lost another
family, one I never knew, maybe one that didn’t even want me to begin
with.”
“We’ll find answers, Mason.”
I know it’s not much as far as
comfort goes, but I don’t know what else to say. I have no idea why anyone
would give up someone as wonderful as Mason. If his biological parents didn’t
want him, their stupidity was our gain. I can’t imagine my life without
Mason.
I have no idea what time it is, but
weariness begins to creep over me. My eyes are starting to close when Mason
asks one last question.
“Do you think Robin is right about
me not being human?”
A yawn stretches my jaw before I
can answer. “I don’t know. Maybe. You are invisible.”
“Does that bother you?” he asks
quietly.
My shrug is more of a twitch as
sleeps tries to steal me away. “Why would it? I love you no matter where you
came from.”
