Trudchen grew up hearing Odette's stories of their monster-slaying mother and a magician's curse. But now that Tru's older, she's starting to wonder if her older sister's tales were just comforting lies, especially because there's nothing fantastic about her own life—permanently disabled and in constant pain from childhood polio. In 1909, after a two-year absence, Od reappears with a suitcase supposedly full of weapons and a promise to rescue Tru from the monsters on their way to attack her. But it's Od who seems haunted by something. And when the sisters' search for their mother leads them to a face-off with the Leeds Devil, a nightmarish beast that's wreaking havoc in the Mid-Atlantic states, Tru discovers the peculiar possibility that she and her sister—despite their dark pasts and ordinary appearances—might, indeed, have magic after all.

Here's a lively, hilarious, not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical traditions, schools, concepts, and thinkers. It's Philosophy 101 for everyone who knows not to take all this heavy stuff too seriously. Some of the Big Ideas are Existentialism (what do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?), Philosophy of Language (how to express what it's like being stranded on a desert island with Halle Berry), Feminist Philosophy (why, in the end, a man is always a man), and much more. Finally—it all makes sense!

在《复活》（《龙人日志》#9中），十六岁的斯嘉丽·潘恩发现自己发生了不可思议的变化。她变得对光敏感，可以读出他人的想法，并比任何时候都更迅速更强壮。她不明白自己发生了什么，并试着不去理会这些。但是她对这些的不加理会只能到此为止了。她的妈妈，凯特琳·潘恩，太了解自己的女儿发生了什么事情。多个世纪以前，她曾经遭遇过同样的转变为龙人的过程。但是，如今，作为一个纯粹的人类，她已经完全不记得了。她所有可以了解的来自于那本她在阁楼上发现的日记本——她神秘的龙人日记——讲述着她在另外的时代和地方里的经历，以及讲述着龙人种族被抹去的事实。但是规则之外是否有特例？她的女儿，斯嘉丽，可不可能是地球上最后一个幸存的龙人？当斯嘉丽竭力与自己正在发生的改变做斗争时，她也在极力与自己对布雷克——一个与她同级的她深深迷恋的人——的强烈情感做斗争。然而，她不肯定，他是不是也爱着她。而随着万圣节前夕大舞会的到来，紧张一触即发。她愿意为布雷克付出一切。但是，薇薇安——所有受欢迎的女孩中最可恶的一个，也喜欢布雷克，而且她会不择手段得到布雷克——这让斯嘉丽的生活犹如堕入地狱。幸运的是，斯嘉丽有自己的朋友圈子支持她，这包括她最好的朋友玛利亚和贾丝明。她们同样，面临着男朋友的问题，但是那是在赛奇出现之后的事——那是一个新来的神秘男孩，那个男孩让她的朋友们着迷。斯嘉丽发现自己也被他吸引了——而让她惊讶的是，在学校所有的女孩中，他唯一只关注她一个人。但是她的心意仍然在布雷克身上——至少目前仍是，并且她仍然希望他会邀请她一起跳舞。就在斯嘉丽觉得一切触手可及的时候，她的身体发生了变化。不久，她也许就不能再待在人类伙伴中间。不久，她就要在她活着的渴望和爱的渴望之间做出选择。《龙人日志》#10《渴望》，现在也已有售！
