Nancy's sailing trip to Vermont turns into a hunt for a ghostly
saboteur's lost treasure in the twenty-fourth book in the Nancy
Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to a classic series. When a family
friend, Grace, opens a sailing club on Lake Champlain at the former
site of the Gemstone Islands Resort, Nancy, Bess, and George are
invited to enjoy a few days of boating before the club's official
grand opening. But when they arrive, they learn there have been
some strange things happening on the property, from missing items
to holes dug all over the yard. Is someone trying to sabotage the
club, and could it have anything to do with the fire that destroyed
the old resort twenty years ago? As Nancy tries to pry information
from the tight-lipped locals, all clues lead back to Captain
Richard Stone, the enigmatic Revolutionary War-era pirate whose
tavern once stood on the same site as the resort and sailing club.
Legend has it that Captain Stone's ghost still haunts the property,
guarding the treasure he buried there. But it isn't a ghost that
punches a hole in Nancy's sailboat, leaving her and the girls to
sink in the middle of the lake when an unexpected summer storm
rolls in. Unraveling the mystery of Captain Stone's treasure will
be the key to finding out who's been sabotaging Grace's club. But
first, Nancy and her friends will have to make it back to shore in
one piece...

For fans of Sadie and Serial, this gripping thriller follows two teens whose lives become inextricably linked when one confesses to murder and the other becomes determined to uncover the real truth no matter the cost.
What happened to Zoe won't stay buried...
When Anna Cicconi arrives to the small Hamptons village of Herron Mills for a summer nanny gig, she has high hopes for a fresh start. What she finds instead is a community on edge after the disappearance of Zoe Spanos, a local girl who has been missing since New Year's Eve. Anna bears an eerie resemblance to Zoe, and her mere presence in town stirs up still-raw feelings about the unsolved case. As Anna delves deeper into the mystery, stepping further and further into Zoe's life, she becomes increasingly convinced that she and Zoe are connected--and that she knows what happened to her.
Two months later, Zoe's body is found in a nearby lake, and Anna is charged with manslaughter. But Anna's confession is riddled with holes, and Martina Green, teen host of the Missing Zoe podcast, isn't satisfied. Did Anna really kill Zoe? And if not, can Martina's podcast uncover the truth?
Inspired by Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, Kit Frick weaves a thrilling story of psychological suspense that twists and turns until the final page.
