WHAT ANY NORMAL PERSON WOULD DO From the author of the popular online blog Mydangblog comes this compilation of strange stories, wacky adventures, and weird and wonderful thoughts. Topics range from the sublime (bizarre online ads and forklift fantasies) to the ridiculous (worst case scenarios and more clocks than you can count), to the even more ridiculous (haunted bathrooms and questionable quizzes). Suzanne Craig-Whytock's absurdist sense of humour was borne out of a childhood spent watching Monty Python combined with a natural tendency towards anxiety and OCD, and it's on full display within these pages. She may not be good at math (among a lot of other things) but she's certainly mastered the art of laughing at herself, and now you can laugh right along with her. Longlisted for the 2024 Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour.
Verity Darkwood and Gareth Winter have finally found some peace. Their business is thriving, they have a new home base, and Verity has finally established a relationship with her estranged father. But when she begins having visions of Samuel Bell, the man who killed her sister- a man who has been in a coma for over a year at Strongpoint Psychiatric Prison-she and Gareth fear that their battle with John Berith, The Seventh Devil, may not be truly over. When the mysterious Mort Sterven confirms that Berith is indeed unvanquished and gaining strength in order to find his next Vessel, Verity and Gareth must risk everything and everyone they love to defeat him once and for all.
It is the year 2135, almost four decades since the Water Wars ended. Much of the continent is a desert wasteland, and the powerful Consortium rules Adanac, one of the few habitable areas remaining, with an iron fist. Cee and Dee, 16-year-old twins who share a special, almost psychic bond, are runaways from a Consortium workhouse. Now living as Freeworlders in the largest tent city in Trillium province, they are determined to survive-Dee spends her days thieving with her best friend Rogan, and Cee makes a living selling his handmade woodcarvings to the Fancies, the wealthy elite. Like all Freeworlders, life is a struggle, made worse by the constant threat of The Dome, where punishments for the slightest offense are meted out by the Dome Master.When devastating circumstances force the twins to become separated, all seems lost until the sudden appearance of Darv Bouchard, leader of an underground resistance movement, who reveals some shocking truths. Rumours become reality, enemies become friends, and old foes resurface. Dee and Cee are tested to their limits as they confront the demons of their past and try to save the future, for themselves and all of Adanac.
