Tessa Randolph is feeling defeated. On the outs with her boyfriend and suddenly without a job, she's scrambling to pay the rent. She doesn’t exactly have the kind of life she wants. Tessa needs a change. And the ability to afford the wet food her cat Pepper thinks she deserves at every meal. Against her better judgment, but without a better offer, Tessa takes a job from one of the scariest of bosses: her mother, who has a deadly sharp tongue. And just like that, she learns that the life insurance agency at the edge of Mist River isn’t what it seems to be.

Tessa's finally getting the hang of her career as a grim reaper. She’s returned home from the reaper conference feeling confident in all things job-related. She even has a new special ability - the power of the scythe. What she isn't so confident about is her budding relationship with Silas St. Onge. He's onto her secret double life, and Tessa can't decide whether to keep putting him off or come clean with the truth.

It's all fun in the sun, until other reapers start to die.... Tessa Randolph is a reaper, one of the few endowed with the abilities of the real grim reaper. And now, she's been offered a spot to attend the annual reaper conference in Miami. But things get off to a rocky start when another reaper dies on the plane. And none of the other reapers saw his soul depart for the hereafter. Tessa takes it upon herself to figure out why.

When Willow Brown was seven, she had her first vision. Her death played out like a movie. Her second vision came along shortly after that, when she predicted her father’s cancer diagnosis. Her mother always wanted her to hide her gift away. That’s what she called it, a gift. In one of Willow’s more recent visions, she saw her great aunt dying peacefully. What she couldn’t predicate was that Aunt Cora would leave her a house in Florida and a cat, forcing Willow to go back to her hometown to sort out affairs. But it turns out Aunt Cora is a little less dead than anyone thought.

This important book offers a practical guide to understanding how Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) can be used in the classroom. Gardner identified eight different types of intelligence: linguistic, logical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Celebrating Every Learner describes the characteristics of each type of intelligence and follows up with ready-to-use lesson plans and activities that teachers can use to incorporate MI in their pre-K through six classrooms.

Es ist nicht einfach, in eine neue Stadt zu ziehen, und noch einmal von vorn anzufangen. Mac, der neue Mann an der Seite von Milenas Mutter, macht alles nicht unbedingt erträglicher. Als wäre Milenas Leben nicht schon kompliziert genug, taucht eines Tages Macs Sohn Colin auf und versetzt nicht nur die Mädchen ihres Jahrgangs in Aufruhr, sondern lässt auch ihr Herz höher schlagen. Doch kann sie sich auf Colins Charme einlassen?

So hat sich Ally den Tag nicht vorgestellt. Erst entpuppt sich ihr Onkel als waschechter Gauner. Als nächstes entdeckt sie, dass ihr Vater nicht vor Jahren ums Leben gekommen ist, sondern der Kopf eines mächtigen Syndikats ist und sich in Paris versteckt. Um ihn aufzuspüren, mischt sich die Siebzehnjährige in seine illegalen Geschäfte und zwingt ihn aus dem Untergrund. Dass sie sich dabei in den Feind verliebt, war nicht geplant.
