After being all heroic and stuff in that tale, I didn't expect to charge headlong into enemy territory: the Library of Alexandria, where I-and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins-would face the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book as long as you don't mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new nasty Librarians who hate our guts...and would be happy to rip them out for us.

Temple Lodge Publishing The Golden Key
Book SynopsisThere was a boy who used to sit in the twilight and listen to his great-aunt's stories. She told him that if he could reach the place where the end of the rainbow stands he would find there a golden key... "And what is the key for?" the boy would ask. "What is it the key of? What will it open?" "That nobody knows," his aunt would reply. "He has to find that out." Now all that his great-aunt told the boy about the golden key would have been nonsense, had it not been that their little house stood on the borders of Fairyland. For it is perfectly well known that out of Fairyland nobody ever can find where the rainbow stands... George MacDonald's classic tale, full of imagination and dreamlike images, tells of a girl and boy, Tangle and Mossy, who venture on a mysterious and magical journey. First, Tangle encounters three Old Men - of the Sea, of the Earth and of Fire - and gains in wisdom and beauty through her adventures. Then, together with Mossy who has the golden key, they travel to the rainbow to discover what awaits them there... This new edition of The Golden Key is exquisitely illustrated with paintings by Angela Lord, who also provides an informative Afterword.

Right now, they’re her saving grace. But when a soul-eater steals the ghost she’s transitioning, things don’t just take a turn for the worse, they take a turn for the personal. This thing has a connection to her and to her family, and it’s coming for revenge. As Maggie races to stop the entity, the body count ticks up, and the soul-eater’s touch reaches close to home. The answers Maggie seeks are coming to a head, but will she survive the revelation?Trade Review"a great hybrid of horror and mystery (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Veronica Mars), with oodles of potential for humour and terror and Deen gets the most out of both." -- Quill & Quire"Any novel which has what appears to be a dead body in the trunk of the protagonists car on the very first page is bound to be a page-turner ... this mix of mystery and fantasy in Guardian is unusual, perhaps, but effective.
