Bruce Coville 
Odder Than Ever 

Beloved for his hilarious and unexpectedly moving novels, Bruce Coville is also a master of the short story. In this follow-up to Oddly Enough, he again presents a collection of unusual breadth and emotional depth. A ghost who died under uproarious circumstances haunts a kitchen baking Biscuits of Glory, while in the grand tale The Golden Sail, there are unexpected consequences when a young teen goes in search of his seafaring father. The collection includes a heartbreaking new story from Mr. Elives Magic Shop, The Metamorphosis of Justin Jones, and the bittersweet title story from the critically acclaimed anthology Am I Blue? A perfect introduction to Bruce Covilles magic for the uninitiated, Odder Than Ever also has a treat for his die-hard fans: three never-before-published stories.
