THE ICY HAND VOLUME 2 :THE SECOND ADVENTURE IN STANLEY BUGGLE''S SAGA Even more wicked and weird than the first! Stanley is looking forward to a relaxing winter. After all, nothing could have been weirder than the werewolf curse and plotting pirates he had to face the summer before! Or at least that''s what Stanley thinks; but he has a lot to learn about Cramdon Rock, especially after accidentally bringing some dead pirates back to life—ones that make the previous pirates he faced look like cuddly puppy dogs and ones that are trudging across the arctic determined to fi nd a magical medallion in Stanley''s house. The only person who can save him is his dead great-uncle Bartholomew, which is a little tricky considering he''s...well, dead. Oh, and did we mention headless? With the help of a talking stuffed fish and a new friend named Daisy, Stanley sets out to fi nd his great-uncle''s head, stop the pirates, and win over some new readers in this second funny and spooky installment of a thrilling new series.

THE WOODEN MILE VOLUME 1: PIRATES...WEREWOLVES...LOST TREASURE AND A SPOOKY HOUSE Something Wickedly Weird is most definitely here! Crampton Rock seems like a lovely seaside town...at least until dark. When eleven-year-old Stanley Buggles inherits a house from a mysterious uncle he didn''t know he had, he also inherits a mystery and some strange and sinister new neighbors. The questions begin to pile up: Why are all the dogs in town three-legged? Why is no one on the streets after dark? Is it true that the man who runs the candy shop is a werewolf? And why do those shoemakers look an awful lot like pirates? With the help of Mrs. Carelli, a housekeeper, and a talking stuffed fish, Stanley begins to unravel the mysteries that haunt his great-uncle''s death and have set their sights on him. A thrilling, spooky, and funny read, and the first installment of a kid-pleasing new series.

Includes a skeleton, creepy stickers, and a spider.

Stanley''s claim on Candlestick Hall (the old house that his Great Uncle Bart left to Stanley in his will) is being seriously questioned by a creepy family named the Darklings. They are obviously up to no good, and Stanley knows it, but how can he prove that Candlestick Hall is truly his?

Stanley Buggles holds the key to the ancient secret contained in the smugglers map. But where will it take him? And who is following on behind?
