A magical adventure for fans of Katherine Applegate and Jennifer Holm about a girl with a mysterious connection to the elephant who saved her life. An elephant never forgets, but Lexington Willow can't remember her past. Swept away by a tornado as a toddler, she was dropped in a nearby Nebraska zoo, where an elephant named Nyah protected her from the storm. With no trace of her family, Lex grew up at the zoo with her foster father, Roger; her best friend, Fisher; and the wind whispering in her ear. Years later, Nyah sends Lex a telepathic image of the woods outside the zoo. Soon, Lex is wrapped up in an adventure involving ghosts, lost treasure, and a puzzle that might be the key to finding her family. Can Lex summon the courage to discover who she really is--and why the tornado brought her here all those years ago?

When a Halloween party turns deadly, it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer. At a Halloween party, Joyce--a surly thirteen-year-old--boasts that she once witnessed a murder.

Set against a night of trickery and the occult, it's up to Poirot to uncover the real evil presence responsible for this ghastly deed.

Book Description
From the Back Cover: A Shy and retiring woman who began to write "in order to avoid having to talk to people," Agatha Christies produced her first detective novel at age twenty-six on a dare from her sister. She went on to author seventy-eight crime novels and short-story collections that have sold over two billion copies in more than 100 languages, making her the bestselling author of all time (Shakespeare is second). Published in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of her birth, The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie is a comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to the lifework of this remarkable woman and an in-depth portrait of the world in which she lived. In this insightful biography, acclaimed author Charles Osborne examines not only Christie's numerous murder mysteries and crime thrillers but also her plays, poetry, nonfiction, stories for children, the films based on her works, and the six semiautobiographical "romantic" novels that she wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Osborne also explores the creation of Christie's much loved sleuths-the egotistical and eccentric Hercule Poirot and the shrewd spinster Miss Jane Marple. From classics of detection like Murder on the Orient Express, Ten Little Indians, and her record-breaking play The Mousetrap to her mysterious 1926 "disappearance" and her life in the Middle East as an assistant to her archaeologist husband, this fascinating and authoritative biography reveals the life and work of the woman who ushered in the golden age of crime fiction and who remains the world's most popular mystery writer.
