Eleven gripping paranormal tales from award-winning author Anne Mazer Full of paranormal activity, haunting plot twists, and bone-chilling horror, this spellbinding collection will grip readers until the very last page. In “Glass Heart,” a tiny shard of glass flies into a girl’s eye, causing her body to grow colder and colder until she is frozen to her very bones. “Secrets” tells the story of a girl who is tormented when other people’s secrets wind around her head like the braids of her hair. A boy is tortured by creepy phone calls that turn out to be even more dangerous than he could have imagined in “Call Me Sometime.” Perhaps most frightening of all, “Thin” tells the tale of a boy who is always hungry and will do anything for food. Each story paints a vivid and often terrifying portrait that will enthrall fans of supernatural fiction.

Book Description

An ALA Notable Book: A contemporary tale of mythic proportions Once upon a time, humans and animals lived together in perfect harmony. Each species was respected for its own particular strength, knowledge, and wisdom. The Oxboy has a human mother and an ox father. But human society has now decided that this is unnatural and degrading. He and other children like him must keep their identities secret. But when the Oxboy is given a certificate covered with names—those of his ancestors—he knows that he must learn more about this half of his heritage: the ox half. The forbidden half. What follows is a striking journey to self-discovery. Anne Mazer’s unforgettable tale reminds us of the dangers of prejudice and the importance of compassion.
