Bedard, Michael A Darker Magic
Stoddart 1997 0773758887 / 9780773758889 Softcover Very Good+
Stoddart edition, same ISBN. Very nice condition. Pages clean with no markings. Cover has a little scuffing and a couple small light creases. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 184 pages; "This impressive first novel is pure, scary excitement. For classmates Emily and Craig and their teacher, genteel Miss Potts, summer begins routinely enough: Emily tends her rambunctious brother, Craig decides to look up a friend, and Miss Potts closes down the classroom. On one of the desks she finds a mysterious old playbill. Soon, all three are beset by frightening premonitions. Something dangerous, something connected with the past is about to happen. As tension builds, the characters' separate stories come together, seemingly forced by the evil designs of a strange magician who appeared in the town some 50 years before. Together or alone, they must resist him. No deeply embedded meanings are uncovered by the end; this is simply a well-told story of horror. The characters are sharp, the plot is solid, and Bedard has a wonderful way of dropping vivid details, like clues, along the way. Ages 10-14. " (156osl)

Hoff, Benjamin THE HOUSE ON THE POINT A Tribute to Franklin W. Dixon and the Hardy Boys
St. Martin's Minotaur 2002 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
As new condition, other than a couple small spots on cloth cover. Jacket wraps vertically around front cover only (as issued). Otherwise clean & unmarked. B/w frontispiece. "The original Hardy Boys titles were not the creations of the nonexistent Franklin W. Dixon credited on their covers but actually the products of numerous factory writers between 1927 and 1946. They've been reconfigured over the years for different generations, but never so lovingly as in this attempt by Hoff to reintroduce the Hardys to a new pack of young readers. Hoff has stripped the book down to its bare essentials and redrafted it with fresh dialogue and three-dimensional characters. ....But is it any good? Heck, it's a Hardy Boys adventure. There are spooky old houses, smugglers' caves, and last-minute rescues. It's a slice of wholesome fun for young readers or older readers who want to once again spend some time with the irrepressible Hardys. " ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall
