After solving the case of Truly Devious, Stevie Bell investigates
her first mystery outside of Ellingham Academy in this
spine-chilling and hilarious stand-alone mystery from New York
Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson, now available in
paperback. Amateur sleuth Stevie Bell needs a good murder. After
catching a killer at her high school, she's back at home for a
normal (that means boring) summer. But then she gets a message from
the owner of Sunny Pines, formerly known as Camp Wonder Falls-the
site of the notorious unsolved case, the Box in the Woods Murders.
Back in 1978, four camp counselors were killed in the woods outside
of the town of Barlow Corners, their bodies left in a gruesome
display. The new owner offers Stevie an invitation: Come to the
camp and help him work on a true crime podcast about the case.
Stevie agrees, as long as she can bring along her friends from
Ellingham Academy. Nothing sounds better than a summer spent
together, investigating old murders. But something evil still lurks
in Barlow Corners. When Stevie opens the lid on this long-dormant
case, she gets much more than she bargained for. The Box in the
Woods will make room for more victims. This time, Stevie may not
make it out alive. * Cosmopolitan Best YA Books of 2021 * People

a cat, a duck’s bill, long rabbit-like ears and the scaly tail of
a crocodile. A creature like that should be easy to spot, right?

every inhabitant looks different – it’s like looking for a star
in a galaxy. Where should our heroes Connor and Ethan even begin?

Roy Eberhardt never wanted to move to Florida. In his opinion, Disney World is an armpit.
Roy’s family moves around a lot so he’s used to the new-kid drill – he's also used to bullies like Dana Matherson. And anyway, it’s because of Dana that Roy gets to see the mysterious running boy who runs away from the school bus and who has no books, no backpack and, most bizarrely, no shoes.
Sensing a mystery, Roy starts to trail the mystery runner – a chase that will introduce him to many weird Floridian creatures: potty-trained alligators, cute burrowing owls, a fake-fart champion, a shoeless eco-warrior, a sinister pancake PR man, new friends and some snakes with sparkly tails. As the plot thickens, Roy and his friends realise it's up to them to save the endangered owls from the evil Mother Paula's pancake company who are planning to build a new restaurant on their home . . .

Larkin Mills: The Birthplace of Death! Larkin Mills is no ordinary
town. It's a place of contradictions and enigma, of secrets and
mysteries. A place with an exquisite ice cream parlour, and an
awful lot of death. An extraordinary mystery in Larkin Mills is
beginning to take shape. First we meet the apparently healthy
Albert Dance, although he's always been called a sickly child, and
he's been booked into Larkin Mills' Hospital for Specially Ill
Children. Then there's his neighbour Ivor, who observes strange
goings-on, and begins his own investigations into why his uncle
disappeared all those years ago. Next we meet Young Olive, who is
given a battered accordion by her father, and unwittingly strikes a
dreadful deal with an instrument repair man. Make sure you keep an
eye on Mr Morricone, the town ice-cream seller, who has queues
snaking around the block for his legendary ice cream flavours
Summer Fruits Suicide and The Christmas Massacre. And Mr Milkwell,
the undertaker, who has some very dodgy secrets locked up in his
hearse. Because if you can piece together what all these strange
folks have to do with one another . . . well, you'll have begun to
unlock the dark secrets that keep the little world of Larkin Mills
spinning . . .
Uncover the mysteries behind why this New York Times-bestselling graphic novel series from John Patrick Green is both highly classified and hi-larious!
