'Fans of Isadora Moon, Amelia Fang, Skeleton Keys are going to LOVE
the adventures of this gang of Ghouls' - Lily and the Fae 'An
irresistible and very funny adventure... [that] demands to be read
aloud' - Books for Keeps _______________ When Lexie Wilde is
dropped off at Scout Camp, little does she expect it to be full of
zombies, werewolves and three-headed witches, who all become the
best of friends. But Camp Croak is under threat from the charmingly
foul Euphemia Vile, and they must all come together in order to
succeed ... the first in a new series, GHOUL SCOUTS. Lexie Wilde
was pretty sure she was supposed to be joining the Happy Hollow
Camp for Joyful Boys and Girls for the summer. So why did her Grams
just drop her off under a big ol' sign saying WELCOME TO CAMP
CROAK? And is she really sharing a cabin with a werewolf, a
skeleton, a fancy schmancy zombie and a baseball-hat-wearing ghost?
Yep, looks like she is! After earning some rather unusual Ghoul
Scout badges, Lexie becomes the best of friends with her new pals,
and before long is one of the team. However, danger lurks as the
dastardly Euphemia Vile has plans of her own. And when their
beloved camp counsellors succumb to an odd sleeping sickness, Lexie
and her new friends become suspicious ... can they overcome the
saccharine sweetness of their new Scoutmaster and save Camp Croak?
The first in a laugh-out-loud series for young readers, with
hilarious integrated two-colour illustrations throughout.
This deliciously spooky, yearningly romantic ghost story from a
brilliant debut author will thrill fans of Kalynn Bayron and Wilder
Girls by Rory Power. Jade Nguyen has always lied to fit in. She's
straight enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough - at least for
this summer with her estranged father in Vietnam. Just five weeks
of ignoring the quietly decaying French colonial house he's fixing
up, then college and freedom are hers. But soon Jade begins waking
up every morning certain that something has clawed down her throat
... from the inside. Then the ghost of a beautiful bride visits her
with a cryptic warning: DON'T EAT. When her father and little
sister don't believe her, Jade decides to scare them into leaving
by staging some haunting events of her own. She recruits Florence,
the daughter of her dad's business associate (and more of a
distraction than Jade bargained for) to help. But the house has
other plans. It's hungry. A home, after all, is only as powerful as
those who breathe new life into its bones. And this one is
determined never to be abandoned again ...
