This book has been written for many of my friends and family especially Renee, Gwen, Bobbie, Susan, Toni, Jane Jean, Aunt Anna, Ruth Dixon, Aunt Manette, Paul, Fred, and especially my parents, Fred and Elizabeth. A large thank-you goes out to all my friends in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania, for without your help this book would have never been written. A special thank-you goes out to all my students because you were a large part of this book. Some of the things in this book were actual experiences I had in my classroom, both as a student and as a teacher. The names of the characters in this book have been changed to protect the real people either living or dead. There are two haunted housesone in Rose Valley and one in Wallingfordbut as for William, he is purely fiction. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did writing it. I hope my readers have had the time to read my other books: Peggy, The Three-Some: Book 2, The Writers Corner: Book 3, The Golden Nugget: Book 4, Emily (book 5), This Is As Good As It Gets (book 6), The 1940 Old Diary (book 7), and Pockets (book 8).

The Problem

Book 13

By: N.K. Beckley

The Problem is the thirteenth book that Mrs. Beckley has written for Xlibris. This is a different kind of genre that Mrs. Beckley has written for us. This book introduces the reader to some new characters by the names of Abby, Allan; and Toni and Terri, who are twin girls in the second grade; Peter and Matthew, their brothers; and Detective Andreas, Detective Marcus, Officer Black, Mr. Frank Fitzgerald, and his mother, Mrs. Betty Black Fitzgerald. This book is pure fiction and takes place around the Bryn Mawr Police Department, where Peter and Matthew are earning service points for school, working with the Detectives Andreas and Marcus solve the suicide of their science teacher, Mr. Frank Fitzgerald. I hope you have enjoyed reading Peggy, The Three-Some (Book 2), The Writer’s Corner (Book 3), The Golden Nugget (Book 4), Emily (Book 5), This Is as Good as It Gets (Book 6), The 1940 Diary (Book 7), Pockets (Book 8), Pam and Jodi’s Journey (Book 9), The Journal (Book 10), The Reunion (Book 11), Christina’s Secret (Book 12), and now The Problem (Book 13). This book has been written for the older student such as those in high school due to its content. This book has been written for my friends and family, especially Angela, Bobbie, Aunt Edwina, Gwen, Jean, Jane, Kate, Peggy, Renee, Susan, Father Don, Father Andy, Sister Mary De Chantel, Mrs. Mitchell, and my parents, Fred and Elizabeth. And, finally, for my classmates from NPHS Fred, Lynne, and Robert. Thank you for all your love and support. Many of my friends have asked me where I get my ideas. Some of them come from my imaginations and watching TV, and some of them have come from my experiences growing up in Rose Valley, and later in Detroit, Michigan. Then the rest of them have come from my teaching experiences over a period of thirty years. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.

The Golden Nugget

The Golden Nugget

By: N.K. Beckley

The Golden Nugget is the fourth book that Mrs. Beckley has written. It is an interactive book and introduces the reader to the history of the Reed Gold Mine in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1799. It was the first goldmine in the United States of America. I hope that this part of history sparks a discussion both in your classrooms and in your families, maybe at the dinner table. The names of the people are fictional, but the information about the Reed Gold Mine, Italy, and South Korea are correct. Look for the last book in the series called Emily to be out sometime soon. The rest of the books should be out soon. I hope you have enjoyed the books as much as I have writing and researching them.

By: N. K. Beckley

The Journal is the tenth book Mrs. Beckley has written for Xlibris. It is an interactive book. This book introduces the readers to Sister Mary Edwina and her class. She has given an assignment to them on their Most Memorable Christmas Vacation Ever. This book shows the reader how each student writes their assignment and what happens to them ten years later. It also tells how Andre, Cameron, Cheyenne, and Nancy value their friendship, as well as their friendship with Sister Mary Edwina, Father Chris, and the Reverend Mother.

If some of you are wondering if I fashioned any of the characters after me, the answer is yes. Nancy was fashioned after me, and the nuns were fashioned after the nuns I taught with and under throughout my teaching career. Sister Mary Edwina was fashioned after a nun my daughters had in school and whom I taught under. Her name was Sister Mary DeChantel. I learned a great deal from her, and every time I see a butterfly or roses, I think of her. There were even roses and butterflies at her funeral recently. A lot of the experiences in this book happened to my family and me and are still very vivid in my memory. I thought you might enjoy them.

Christina’s Secret

By: N. K. Beckley

Christina’ Secret is the twelfth book that Mrs. Beckley has written for Xlibris. This book introduces the reader to some new characters, and to some old ones from her previous books. Christina has a reading comprehension problem, but her teachers Sister Mary Gabrielle, Sister Mary Ellen, and her classmates are very supportive even though she wants to keep it a secret. There one assignment on the book, The Doll in the Garden: A Ghost Story By Mary Downing Hahn, really helps her with her reading comprehension problem, as Sister Mary Ellen teaches her a trick that helped her in math class so many years ago. This was one thing that my dad taught me, and it has helped me immensely with memory skills. I hope it will help you too. This is an interactive book, and you can do the assignments in the book along with the characters in the book. I hope it will help you, and you will come to enjoy reading anything and everything as much as I do. I hope you have enjoyed Peggy, The Three-Some Book 2, The Writer’s Corner Book 3, The Golden Nugget Book 4, Emily Book 5, This Is As Good As It Gets Book 6, The 1940 Diary Book 7, Pockets Book 8, Pam and Jodi’s Journey Book 9, The Journal Book 10, The Reunion Book 11 and Christina’s Secret Book 12. This book has been written for my friends, and family especially Angela, Bobbie, Aunt Edwina, Gwen, Jane, Jean, Kate, Peggy, Renee, Susan, Father Andy, Father Don, Sister Mary De Chantel, my parents Fred, and Elizabeth, and finally my classmates from NPHS Fred, Lynne and Robert. Thank you all for giving me such a good idea for this book. If any of you are wondering if I fashioned any of the characters after me, the answer is yes. Christina and I had the same problem in reading comprehension until my parents helped me with it so many years ago. Andi is fashioned after my mother, because, she was a wonderful cook and baker as well as a high school English teacher. Thank you, so much mother and dad. You gave me such a wonderful start in life and, a wonderful thirst for reading. A lot of the experiences in this book happened to my family and me on our many travels or in the classroom as a student or as a teacher.

Emily is the last book in the series of five books that Mrs. Beckley has written. It is the continuing saga of Beth, Jerry, Karen, Kip, and their families from the time they are in seventh grade at St. John the Baptist Catholic School to the time of their student-teaching at the same school.

In each book, there is something there to teach you, and I hope that you have learned the lessons well.
