NEW – FALL
2009 What if you woke up psychic? Fifteen-year-old Jade is different from most girls her age. When a near-death experience opens up a new world of psychic ability and possibility, Jade is forced to make sense of her new gift…or is it a curse? In Tales of a Reluctant Psychic, Carol Matas’s three critically acclaimed “Freak” novels—The Freak, Visions, and Far—are gathered together, revealing Jade’s adventures from the very beginning. As she learns to cope with and accept her new-found talent (solving a few mysteries along the way), Jade must also confront the challenges of being a teenage girl—from friendships to boyfriends, to searching for answers about what it all means. "Recommended for readers...looking for fast-paced, action-oriented stories of a gifted but conflicted teenager coming of age in a world where she must help family and friends as they are threatened with ridicule, anti-Semitism, public bombings and a serial killer... An entertaining mix of amateur sleuthing and psychic activities." M. Wayne Cunningham, Mysteries Magazine, 2008. "Recommended for its storyline and intriguing philosophical explorations, plus a hip grandma who knows a thing or two about Jewish theology." Susan Berson, Association of Jewish Librarians Newsletter, June 2008. Carol discusses how she wrote the Freak series. BUY Tales of a Reluctant Psychic ONLINE!

SPRING 2009 —
FOR MIDDLE GRADES In The Proof That Ghosts Exist — the first installment in the Ghosthunters trilogy — Molly and Adam managed to save their father from a family curse, and near-certain death on the day before his 35th birthday. Or did they? An unfortunate “error” on their dad’s birth certificate means that he’s still at risk, and it’s up to Molly and Adam — and their ghostly grandfather — to keep him safe. But how are they going to manage that when he’s off to Palm Springs, California for a film festival? "Like the first book, The Proof That Ghosts Exist,
this one
features plenty of spirits, both friendly and wicked, and lots of
cliffhanging situations as Molly and Adam try to outwit the ghost of a
wronged parlour maid before she can murder their father. Set
mainly in Palm Springs, this is a fast read for Matas and Nodelman fans." Helen Norrie, Winnipeg Free Press, Dec. 12, 2009.
