New Releases by Dana Stewart

Weinville "Weevil" Poston, 17, has everything--a caring family, trusted friends Kitty and Gray, and more money than he can spend. What more could he want? Weevil would like to be able to walk, to be independent, that''s what. Penelope "Penny" Fox, 17, is hopeful. She has just moved back to Idaho, where she is closer to the treasured memories of happy times with her father. Maybe in a new school Penny won''t be overshadowed by her TV-star twin sister, Pippa. Maybe she can make friends that are hers alone--fellow science girl Kitty Clements, for example. And maybe Penny can find evidence to prove that her mother isn''t really a murderer. Beverly Taylor has written a play, quite a feat for a high-school teacher. Deep inside, she knows Ice Cream is good, with none other than Pippa Fox in the starring role and a haunting song written by Gray Hunter. If only Ice Cream could somehow reach beyond the walls of Snake River High, it could be a hit in the real world of entertainment. Then into Beverly''s life steps Mark Powell, Pippa''s agent. Sometimes dreams come true. Sometimes they don''t.

Kitty has a secret: late one night, she overheard an unseen man describing a murder. And when she told the wrong person what she overheard, the killer began to focus on Kitty. Exploring the mountains and canyons of the Idaho back country with their friend Weevil while they look for tiger moths for Kitty''s high-school senior project, Kitty and Gray begin to fall in love. Kitty''s a self-described science girl. Gray writes songs, hoping to become a singer. Weevil, though wheelchair-bound, wants to become a music producer. Weevil and Gray realize that they have to keep Kitty safe. They know the killer is close, but they cannot discover his identity. At the same time, Gray''s attorney cousin, Rylan, has met Kitty''s teacher, Lina, hoping for a second chance at love. At midnight, a star burns atop Aldape Ridge. Tiger moth pupae sleep in Kitty''s family garage, waiting for spring. In a small stable, Gray sings his heart out. In the middle of a nasty divorce case, Rylan and Lina stand up for a small boy with uncaring parents. On Halloween night, the Headless Horseman rides again. And in the canyon to the north, a killer in a pickup waits for the right moment to strike. Tiger Moth is a world rich with canyons and rivers, mountains and deserts, wildlife, skies bright with stars, many memorable characters, a brutal killer--and a tender love story.

Meanwhile, Bay and Nathan are being stalked by his mother''s murderer.
