❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)

Nobody believes in ghosts because they're not actually real. Well, nobody believes in them until they move to Delta where people are named after constellations, stars and their great-great-great-grandmothers and grandfathers. They still don't believe until they actually see a ghost gliding down Aquila Avenue. That's how it was for Jason Walker, and that's how it's going to be for Tobias Pierce. (This story switches between the two protagonists of the story Jason Walker and Tobias Pierce! It is written in third person, and will be in Jason's POV until Tobias is introduced then it'll go back and forth. Please enjoy!)
