I only read murder / by Ferguson, Ianauthor.; Ferguson, Will,author.;
"A once-beloved television sleuth finds herself far from Hollywood and witness to a murder during a small-town theatre production -- and is convinced it's up to her to solve the case. Introducing a new comedic crime series from the bestselling Ferguson brothers, for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street series and Schitt's Creek. Miranda Abbott, once known for the crime-solving, karate-chopping church pastor she played on network television, has hit hard times. Turned down for a role on a cable reality show, Miranda is facing ruin when a mysterious postcard arrives, summoning her to Happy Rock, a small town in the Pacific Northwest. But when she gets there, nothing is what she expected. In dire straits, she signs up for an amateur production at the Happy Rock Little Theatre, competing against the local real estate agent for the lead role. On opening night, one of the actors is murdered, live, in front of the audience. But out of 100 witnesses, no one actually saw what happened. Now everyone is under a cloud of suspicion, including the sardonic town doctor, the local high-school drama teacher, an oil-stained car mechanic, an elderly gentleman who may or may not have been in the CIA -- and Miranda herself. Clearly, the only way to solve this mystery is for Miranda to summon her skills as television's Pastor Fran and draw on the help of her new sidekick, Susan, a shy bookstore clerk who seems to know everyone's secrets. Because the show must go on!"--

Those Pink Mountain nights / by Ferguson, Jen,1985-author.;
"In her remarkable second novel following her Governor General's Award-winning debut, The Summer of Bitter and Sweet, Jen Ferguson writes about the hurt of a life stuck in past tense, the hum of connections that cannot be severed, and one week in a small, snowy town that changes everything. Overachievement isn't a bad word--for Berlin, it's the goal. She's securing excellent grades, planning her future, and working a part-time job at Pink Mountain Pizza, a legendary local business. Who says she needs a best friend by her side? Dropping out of high school wasn't smart--but it was necessary for Cameron. Since his cousin Kiki's disappearance, it's hard enough to find the funny side of life, especially when the whole town has forgotten Kiki. To them, she's just another missing Native girl. People at school label Jessie a tease, a rich girl--and honestly, she's both. But Jessie knows she contains multitudes. Maybe her new job crafting pizzas will give her the high-energy outlet she desperately wants. When the weekend at Pink Mountain Pizza takes several unexpected turns, all three teens will have to acknowledge the various ways they've been hurt--and how much they need each other to hold it all together. Jen Ferguson burst onto the YA scene with her first novel, which was a William C. Morris Award Finalist and a Stonewall Award Honor Book, and this second novel fulfills her promise as one of the most thoughtful and exciting YA writers today."--013+.Grades 10-12.

Trudeau on Trudeau : the deep thoughts of Canada's 23rd prime minister / by Ferguson, Ian,1959-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Trudeau on Trudeau is a book like no other. It's a collection of words spoken by our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that paints a portrait of a man who hasn't quite gotten the hang of leading Canada. Included are familiar quotes, such as "The budget will balance itself"; the infamous "You are a piece of sh*t"; the headscratcher, "On Canada Post, we commit to restoring door-to-door home mail delivery"; the plain pathetic "We will grow the economy from the heart out"; and many, many more. With photos of Justin taking selfies, quizzes (match the moose sock to the event), a photo album of Justin and his family's taxpayer-funded vacation in India, and laugh-out-loud commentary, the book is sure to answer the question, "What happens when a part-time snowboarding and drama teacher becomes prime minister of Canada?" Trudeau on Trudeau is a must-have for all political junkies and for any and all Canadians who care about the future of our country."-- Provided by publisher.
