Product Description
Synopsis
A collection of poetry on funny, poignant, silly and serious themes. There are spine-tingling atmospheric poems about ghosts and fear, poems that look at people in a funny way, and poems about animals who think people are odd.
From the Back Cover
My granny is six foot three
My granny is built like a tree
My granny says – Nothing
I mean nothing
Frightens me
Even more dangerous than Granny is the psycho wrapping paper…then there's Grandad who talks to trees…a tidal wave in the trifle…a face in the washing machine…and Dracula turns up where you least expect him…
Dazzling new poems from a prize winning author that are funny, thoughtful, spine-tingling and larger than life.
'"Gareth Owen's poetry is original, beautiful, serious, funny…I can't tell you how good it is!"'
Patric Dickinson

An awesome book.
25 May 2000
Format:Paperback
Miranda Campbell had a perfect life, ordinary in every aspect. She had great parents, loyal friends, a wonderful boyfriend. But it all fell apart overnight. Her parents split up. Her friends betrayed her out of jealousy. Her boyfriend left her for another girl. Miranda would have fallen into despair if it wasn't for Garth, the mysterious older guy she falls in love with. But Garth claims he has a secret that will keep them apart forever. Miranda is determined to prove him wrong, and will do whatever it takes. I highly reccommend this book. I was rooting for Miranda the whole time. And the end was a real cliff-hanger.
Barf and Miranda's Love Story
2 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
Oh gosh this is thee worst book I have ever read! Good thing I picked it up at a dollar store. The story started out alright but I think it was when Barf stumbled tipsily onto the scene that things went down hill. The last scene were they were in the woods was.....about as romantic as watching a dead tree rot.
The L.J. Smith type cover design attracted me to it despite the giggle worthy red eyes of Garth, our "hero" (snort) and the way Miranda's sprawled across it like one of those cheesy 80's romance covers. And if I remember right (this book is in a deep dark place in my closet and will hopefully never be unleashed on the world again)Garth even has a mullet..and then there's the demonic blood shot red eyes staring out from the cover.)
My suggestion, L.J. Smith is worlds better and I'm just glad I got this book for a dollar.

First Volume in the Dark Moon Legacy
25 July 2002
Format:Paperback
Set in Overlook, Oregon, 17-year-old Miranda Campbell has become the target of a secret admirer (Garth Gautier) who hides an unbelievable secret--he's a werewolf, one that must kill to survive, even if his prey is human. But how far will Garth's hunger go before it effects the ones Miranda is closest to?
If you like young adult romance/suspense/horror novels, then you'll probably like this trilogy (Dark Moon Legacy). "The Curse" is the first book, followed by "The Seduction" and "The Rebellion". Also recommended: anything by L. J. Smith, for those who enjoy the same type of genre mentioned above.
