set on both. Magic - What Legacy has yet to know is that the other
players have something besides better skills and more money than
she does. In Nova, tennis can unlock magic. Magic that Silla used
to save the kingdom long ago and magic that her competitors have
been training in for months already. Now, with the world turned
against her and the orphanage at stake, Legacy has to learn to use
her passion for the game to rise above those around her and shine.

murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.

From Julie Murphy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Dumplin', comes a hilarious and creepy middle grade summer camp
story that takes a bite out of fat camp and diet culture. Perfect
for fans of Spooky Stories and Starfish. Magnolia "Maggie" Hagen is
determined to be in the spotlight . . . if she can just get over
her stage fright. This summer, though, she has big plans to finally
attend Camp Rising Star, the famous performing arts camp she's been
dying to go to for three whole summers. But on the last day of
school, her parents break the news: Maggie isn't going to Camp
Rising Star. She's being shipped off to fat camp-and not just any
fat camp. She's going to Camp Sylvania, run by world-famous
wellness influencer Sylvia Sylvania, who is known for her
soon-to-be-patented Scarlet Diet. When Maggie arrives at camp,
things are . . . weird. There are the humiliating weigh-ins and
grueling workouts, as expected. But the campers are also encouraged
to donate blood-at their age! The cafeteria serves only red foods
and the oddly specific rules change every day. There are even
rumors of a camp ghost. Despite these horrors, Maggie makes friends
and starts to actually enjoy herself. There are even tryouts for a
camp production of The Music Man! This place might not be so bad .
. . until campers start going missing and other suspicious things
begin happening-especially after dark. The camp ghost might be the
least scary thing about this place. . . .
