The lumps on Tuggle Imp's head will soon converge atop his dented skull. After eons of review, he suspects this merger will correspond to a portentous lunar alignment. Such coincidence has happened from time to time throughout his centuries-long interment in hell, but Tuggle believes this particular conjunction will mark the location of a redeeming auspice hidden somewhere among purgatory's endless acres. Provided that he stands in the right spot at the right time, of course, so the two lumps conjoin within the divot's cup to complete an obvious triangulation.Yet trials of perdition are never simple or easy. During the final desperate hours of his quest, Tuggle must confront the amorous pursuit of Toad Woman and her relentless guide, little-dog. Each in their own way, both are dedicated to his torment. To avoid descending into a lower level of the underworld, he must overcome his infernal nature to embrace a detested change of character. Somehow, Tuggle Imp must learn to love!

Harbor Island, non lontana dalla baia di Witherport, è il paradiso dei pescatori, ma solamente per poco più di un mese all'anno. Che cosa ne è di quest'eremo ricoperto di rocce e di alberi secolari durante il resto del tempo? Chi è il misterioso guardiano del vecchio faro abbandonato? E come può l'isola disabitata celare ancora un tesoro dimenticato? Rick, anche questa volta, troverà le risposte insieme ai suoi amici, imbarcatisi con lui all'avventura sulle tracce del famigerato pirata Darkain. La casa del custode era priva di numero civico e non c'era traccia di una cassetta per la posta. Nessun cancello o barriera impediva di avvicinarsi a essa, o al faro. Pertanto, Simon si fece coraggio e proseguì mettendo piede sugli scalini anneriti che conducevano alla porta principale. Lo scricchiolio orribile che emisero fece venire la pelle d'oca persino a Rick, qualche metro dietro di lui.C'è... c'è nessuno? chiese Simon con quel po' di voce che riuscì a ritrovare.

This book serves as an introduction to Thomas and his group of friends, characters who live their stories with the school environment as context. This space, which is part of the reality of the little ones, allows us to explore the joys, fantasies and fears of that stage of life in which everything seems to be possible. The main objective of the book is to provide children's readers with a world in which they can see themselves reflected, that is familiar to them and that at the same time encourages them in their development, offering answers to questions or problems typical of this stage of life. More specifically, it is sought that through the adventures of these characters and their families, it is possible to transmit such expensive values as friendship, loyalty, courage, tolerance, work, honesty and the joy of learning. All of them, true foundations of a positive maturity. In the case of "The School´s Ghost", the story seeks to capture attention with the search for answers to the mystery, reconstructing a path that encourages the reader to search for logical solutions, based on arguments and information. The "mystery" of what is happening at school generates curiosity in the protagonist, which serves as a trigger for new questions, something fundamental for learning, which is presented as a collective task, in which friendship is a main pillar. The outcome reinforces this idea, seeking to generate a positive feeling regarding the expectations that every child has about the world that he is beginning to discover.

As the ghost story came to an end and midnight approached, the ghost hunters headed out into the graveyard in search for the ghosts that are said to haunt it. Can the teenage team make it through the night?

You will find yourself holding your breath. I truly wasn't sure what was going to happen but let's just say it will blow you away!"--Southermermaid85, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "Awesome series!! Could not put the books down!"--Kris MacGillivray, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This story had me in a roller coaster of emotions and worries. I was constantly in edge thinking what will happen? Is this real or part of the therapy. Eva did a wonderful job keeping me on my toes and making my mind work on overdrive. So many references from studies I myself have looked into. I loved!"--Mariela, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This novel was spooky and eerily entertaining. Pohler's phenomenal descriptions of the natural world leave you breathless while her fantastically imaginative storytelling keep you hooked."--Jonel, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "For fans of Eva Pohler's other series The Purgatorium is quite different; there is nothing supernatural here, merely psychological which has the ability to simultaneously unsettle a reader and force you to keep reading. There is a sense of schadenfreude in elements of this series which made me stop and think about at what point does the end justify the means; this is a great takeaway from the books and will leave the reader questioning the ethics of psychology."--Tamara, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin this chilling adventure today!
