'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.
Video games have never been more murderous. Veronica wakes up
trapped with four strangers in a sprawling manor house in a snow
storm with a dead body, a mystery right out of an Agatha Christie
novel. It feels so real - but it isn't. This is VR and this is THE
Game; a rumoured Easter Egg hidden in other VR games that draws you
into a competition for a prize beyond your wildest dreams. And
there's no escaping the VR world until the Game is won. But while
Veronica and her fellow players are trying to figure out the
puzzle, something is not right in the VR world. Blackouts,
glitches, NPCs acting strange, and a mysterious figure haunting
their footsteps. Then when a player dies, and also dies in real
life, all hell breaks loose. Without warning, the game Veronica
thought she was playing gets overshadowed by a much darker, and
much more real, mystery: who is killing us?' It may not be a game
Veronica wanted to play, but it's one that she has to win - or die
trying.

explores themes of race and class.
Devon Harris doesn't have much planned for the summer - until her
sister, Drew, invites Devon to a very exclusive private school party.
Out of her element, Devon commits to being game at everything. Even
when the private school kids ask her if there are fights at her school.
Even when they ask her if her box braids are her real hair. Even when
those weird ass kids pull out a Ouija board.
But this seemingly harmless bit of fun has terrible consequences.
Something has been released, and only a week later it's hunting Devon,
Drew and their friends. Hunting them in an eerily familiar way . . .
The real-life horror movie has begun. The blonde is up first, then the
asshole - right up to the Final Girl. Unless the murderous cycle can be
broken, they're all going to be next.
