{"product_id":"9780756978310","title":"Haunted (Mediator Series #5)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy name is Susannah Simon, and I am a mediator — a liason between the living and the dead. If you think this gets in the way of my attempt at a normal sixteen-year-old life, you'd be right. You try going to the mall while constantly being accosted by the undead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot that this is a bad thing all the time. Like, for example, when I discovered my bedroom is haunted by Jesse, the ghost of a nineteenth-century hottie. While I haven't made much progress with him (only one kiss so far), I remain optimistic. Jesse's inexplicable resistance to my charms is not my only obstacle, though: there's this other guy. A live one, who has the same gift of gab with the undead I have. In the same way I'm after Jesse, this guy is after me. And he knows how to send Jesse to the Great Beyond. For good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I guess you could say I'm haunted. I just never thought it would be by someone who isn't dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeg Cabot is the author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed, immensely popular \u003ci\u003ePrincess Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e novels, as well as \u003ci\u003eAll-American Girl, Haunted,\u003c\/i\u003e and two Regency novels,\u003ci\u003e Nicola and the Viscount\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVictoria and the Rogue.\u003c\/i\u003e Meg was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and her childhood was spent in pursuit of air conditioning, of which there was little at the time in southern Indiana. A primary source proved to be the Monroe County Public Library, where Meg whiled away many hours, reading the complete works of Jane Austen, Judy Blume, and Barbara Cartland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmed with a fine arts degree from Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City, intent upon pursuing a career in freelance illustration. Illustrating, however, soon got in theway of Meg's true love, writing, and so she abandoned it and got a job as the assistant manager of an undergraduate dormitory at New York University, writing on the weekends, and whenever her boss wasn't looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeg lives in New York City with her husband, Benjamin, a poet, financial market writer and fellow Hoosier, and their one-eyed cat, Henrietta.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Harpercollins Childrens Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014958792944,"sku":"9780756978310","price":19.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780756978310_p0.jpg?v=1763639364","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780756978310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
