"Radcliffe Prep. The third most haunted school in the country, where a student disappearance isn't uncommon and no one dares stay in the library after dark. And Este Logano enrolls with the hopes of finding her dead father. Not literally, of course. She doesn't believe in ghosts. Going to her dad's school just seems like her best hope at figuring out who he was. But then Este meets Mateo, who is maybe--probably--definitely--a real ghost. And an annoying one at that. When Mateo frames Este for the theft of a rare book from the library's secret spire and then vanishes, Este will have to track him down or risk being expelled and leaving Radcliffe early just like her father did. Except following in her father's footsteps might be more dangerous than Este ever anticipated. As she investigates the library with its secret passageways, hidden tunnels, and haunted halls, she learns that the student disappearances aren't just myth. And if she isn't careful, she'll be next"--

Being a bully isn't all it's cracked up to be.

She discovers balancing on the edge is as challenging in life as it is in snowboarding, and when a new friend is in trouble, Brianna must decide between the superficial things that used to be her world and putting her friend's safety before herself.

We Almost Turned to Dust in the Duffel is a collection of short stories, some written decades ago, that were stashed in a duffel bag under a bed. One day, the bag was pulled out from the darkness, and the characters seemed to crawl out, sighing, "We almost turned to dust in the duffel." Each character has a story to tell about how their struggles taught them important life lessons: Do I really want what I wish for? Whom should I trust when the going gets tough? Who am I? Am I important? What is more important-the mess in life or life itself? Do I think I'm happily headed in the right direction while, really, I'm lost? Each story can be read in one sitting, and from each, many morals can be drawn. We Almost Turned to Dust in the Duffel can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from all around the world, and from all walks of life.
