Ghosts of Government House, by Judith Silverthorne

Publisher: Your Nickel’s Worth Publishing

Are there really ghosts at Government House? Sam and J.J. have heard about the legendary ghost ‘Howie,’ but who is he really? And is he responsible for all the mysterious things that happen there?

The two girls, along with Grandma Louise, find out more than they’d bargained for when they set out on their ghost detecting adventures in the historic mansion. Howie is the least of their worries — and so is proving to Sam’s older brother Gabe that ghosts actually exist. What none of them had anticipated is their encounters with so many unexpected apparitions. Who are those ghosts, and why are they there?

Nominated for the 2013 Diamond Willow award.

Author: Alison Lohans

Escaping her home routine for a few hours, 16-year-old Katie grabs her bike and leaves behind her cranky baby, her hyperactive brother and a struggling single mom. Flopping down in a field to rest, Katie brushes the branches of a willow shrub and falls into a dying world far in the future. The few people there cling to their lore–the tales of terrible destruction that befell the earth; the destruction that is about to hit Katie’s home very soon.

Time travel, psychic phenomena and human emotion all play key roles in the juncture of these two diverse societies. Katie must set aside the normal goals of a typical teenager and decide if she can be the one to help save her two worlds.
