An old enemy is stirring . . . The destruction of a Russian air base by robotic U.S. warplanes has reawakened the bear--and America must pay a terrible price. In retaliation, Russia's leader launches the most devastating military sneak attack since Pearl Harbor, decimating America's strategic air forces. Now an embattled U.S. president must choose between two horrific scenarios: a cease-fire on the enemy's terms . . . or respond with every weapon in the nation's arsenal, possibly triggering global thermonuclear war. Disgraced and demoted to a desk job, aerial warfare expert Brigadier General Patrick McLanahan saw the nightmare coming--and only he can stop the relentless Russian war machine. But the fight for the future must take place in the blazing skies, a battlefield off-limits to the discredited former commander of Air Battle Force . . . unless McLanahan takes matters into his own hands.
Each day, the ghost of a little girl relives the day of her death...knowing that one day, her childhood friend will come back through the hedge and allow her to change the horrible events of the day she died.Meanwhile, decades have gone by, and a young girl comes to live next door with her miserly, domineering, hermit grandmother. Eager to escape her unhappy situation, the girl follows a ghost cat through the hedge...and starts off a bizarre series of ghostly events and time travel.This book is seriously creepy, and remarkably clever. It keeps the reader unsure and in suspense until the end of the book! The same writer has written "The Ghost in the Swing," which is probably one of the best ghost stories written for younger readers.
