Shadow House always wins . . . Poppy, Dash, Azumi, and Dylan may
have made it out of Shadow House--but the grounds are a whole new
nightmare. Someone they thought was a friend is hunting them, and
there's no place that's safe now that they've woken the shadow
creature. If they want to survive, they'll have to figure out once
and for all what the house wants from them, and what-or who-they'll
need to leave behind in order to escape . . . or risk being trapped
within Shadow House forever.

Faye Faulkner is the only one who can solve the case in this spooky
YA graphic novel Faye Faulker isn't popular, and that's just fine
by her. She spends her lunches at the Loser Table with the other
social rejects, aka her best friends, and brushes off the
uninspired taunts from the cool kids. But when lonely freshman Cody
finds her way to Faye's corner of the cafeteria, it sets off a
peculiar chain of events . . . To Cody's surprise, these kids
aren't so bad; an overdramatic theater nerd, a handicapable girl in
a wheelchair, an overweight boy, and Faye, who comes to school
every day dressed like a witch. But it's no costume, Fay really is
a witch! While high school can be hell for many reasons, this year
the ante has been raised when a series of pranks swiftly go from
mischievous to downright dangerous. From the lowliest debate team
nerds to the prom queen, no one is safe, not even the teachers!
When things start to really get out of hand, Cody owns up to Faye:
in a moment of desperation, she signed up for an online challenge
that promises to grant popularity to those who follow the website's
twisted demands. Now Faye is faced with a choice: Reveal her witchy
nature to Cody and help her or stand aside and keep her secret
identity safe. Despite her misgivings, Faye takes on the case, but
will her powers be strong enough to solve this mystery? And will
people ever stop asking her if she puts newts' eyes in her homemade
baked goods? Witch for Hire is a gothic whodunnit about resilience,
magic, and the power of friendship.
Ghoulia lives in Crumbling Manor with her Auntie Departed and
spends most of her time playing with Tragedy, her beloved albino
greyhound. But things aren't as easy as they seem for this little
zombie girl-all she wants is a real friend. She tries to venture
past the manor's walls, but she can't hide her pale green skin or
the deep purple circles under her eyes. The other children will be
afraid of her, and no one will want to be her friend. But when
Halloween rolls around, Ghoulia hatches a brilliant plan. All the
other, ordinary children will be dressed up like monsters, so
Ghoulia can go out into the town and be entirely herself. In the
end, all the kids realize that Ghoulia is (almost) just like them
and learn that friendship can come in many forms.

--Dana Mele, author of People Like Us Hannah's a witch, but not the
kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the
power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she
lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to
keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg
(read: non-witch), she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends
most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend (and fellow Elemental
Witch) Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and working at
the Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists,
goths, and local Wiccans. But dealing with her ex is the least of
Hannah's concerns when a terrifying blood ritual interrupts the
end-of-school-year bonfire. Evidence of dark magic begins to appear
all over Salem, and Hannah's sure it's the work of a deadly Blood
Witch. The issue is, her coven is less than convinced, forcing
Hannah to team up with the last person she wants to see: Veronica.
While the pair attempt to smoke out the Blood Witch at a house
party, Hannah meets Morgan, a cute new ballerina in town. But
trying to date amid a supernatural crisis is easier said than done,
and Hannah will have to test the limits of her power if she's going
to save her coven and get the girl, especially when the attacks on
Salem's witches become deadlier by the day. Isabel Sterling's
delightful, suspenseful debut is equal parts sweet romance and
thrilling mystery. With everything she loves on the line, Hannah
must confront this murderous villain before her coven--and any
chance she has with the new girl--is destroyed.
