ew York Times bestselling adult true crime author Gregg Olsen makes his YA debut with EMPTY COFFIN, a gripping new fiction series for teens based on rippedfrom-the-headlines stories. . .with a paranormal touch. Crime lives—and dies—in the deceptively pictureperfect town of Port Gamble (aka “Empty Coffin”), Washington. Evil lurks and strange things happen—and 15-year-olds Hayley and Taylor Ryan secretly use their wits and their telepathic “twin-sense” to uncover the truth about the town’s victims and culprits. Envy, the series debut, involves the mysterious death of the twins’ old friend, Katelyn. Was it murder? Suicide? An accident? Hayley and Taylor are determined to find out—and as they investigate, they stumble upon a dark truth that is far more disturbing than they ever could have imagined. Based on the shocking true crime about cyberbullying, Envy will take you to the edge—and push you right over.

Mayer set out with a bag filled with his sketches and doodles, and luck was with him: he was asked to illustrate The Gillygoofang for The Dial Press and Outside My Window for Harper and Row. The first book that was truly his own was A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog (The Dial Press, 1967) followed by his classic picture book There’s a Nightmare in My Closet a year later. In 1976, he joined Golden Publishing and soon began publishing his phenomenally successful Little Critter® and Little Monster® books.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson; Illustrated by Scott McKowen; Afterword by Arthur Pober
PUBLISHER: STERLING PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 2011
What would happen if we could separate our better selves from our baser half? Dr. Jekyll discovers the horrifying answer in Robert Louis Stevenson's gripping, atmospheric novella. An instant success upon publication, it chillingly illuminates the darkest aspects of the human soul. Set in the same foggy, sinister streets of Victorian London where Jack the Ripper prowled, the tale depicts Dr. Jekyll's transformation into the evil, amoral Mr. Hyde, after drinking a serum that he created in his laboratory. While at first Jekyll revels in the freedom of his dissolute alter ego, gradually Hyde begins to take over Jekyll's entire being--with devastating consequences.
