The Seer...a new psychic mystery series
The Seer is about 16-year old psychic Sabine Rose, who has visions. She keeps these visions a secret until dangerous things begin to happen around her.
You can locate all five books of the series in the YA dept. on the new book shelves.
Grades 6-8.
Don't Die Dragonfly:
After getting kicked out of school and sent to live with her grandmother, Sabine Rose is determined to become a "normal" teenage girl. She hides her psychic powers from everyone, even from her grandmother Nona, who also has "the gift."
Last Dance :
Sabine Rose travels with her new goth friend to Pine Peaks, CA to find an old remedy book that may save the live of her grandmother. Even before the trip, a girl named Chloe who has fallen off of a cliff, begins to haunt Sabine Rose's dreams.
Witch Ball:
Volunteering with her friends to help run the psychic booth at their school's fundraising carnival, Sabine discovers too late that the fake crystal ball she meant to bring has been mysteriously switched. In its place is the strange "witch ball" she locked away after her grandmother refused to have it in the house. Now the haunted witch ball's predictions are coming true, and Sabine must solve the mystery before its final prediction-her own death-becomes a deadly reality.
Sword Play:
"Help her," insists the spirit of Kip, the jock from her old school who died in a car accident. But his cryptic message is the last thing on Sabine's mind as she packs up to move back home. She's not happy about leaving her friends, her boyfriend, and Nona who's gravely ill, but won't dare challenge her mother's orders.
Fatal Charm:
Sabine Rose is reunited with her ill grandmother Nona and her friends at Sheridan Valley. But the excitement of curing Nona-and discovering love with someone new-doesn't outweigh the burden of her father's dark secret: a daughter no one but Sabine knows about. Riddled with curiosity, Sabine uses astral projection to spy on her half sister Jade. One night-while out of body-she witnesses a gruesome murder and the victim appears to be Jade's mother.
The author will have a new series starting the fall of 2008 called Dead Girl Walking.
