adventure chester crime halifax mystery novascotia summercamp

Summer has arrived, school's out and eleven-year-old Tess Wilson of Halifax, Nova Scotia, is restless and hungry for an adventure. Uninspired by the activities and interests of her peers, she'd like nothing more than to sink her teeth into the kind of mystery that recently placed her in the crosshairs of helping to solve two gruesome murders. But the horizon for another such escape looks bleak. Worse, her mother has unceremoniously signed her up to attend a summer youth camp in Chester, the beloved sea-side home town of her eccentric aunt Izzy. However, what seems like a punishment, turns into the experience of a lifetime! The dead body of a camp counsellor who mysteriously disappeared has washed ashore and the whole camp community is on the hunt for a hidden time capsule believed to contain an item that could save the cherished facility from a greedy developer looking to transform the area into a luxury retirement complex. Both events speak to Tess's innate passion for mystery and with the aid of her BFF, Chucky, she wastes no time plunging into the chaotic scene. Meanwhile, Tess's mother, Alice, finds herself on tenterhooks as she's forced to remain on the sidelines while bunking at Izzy's and caring for Tess's younger brother, Charlie, and the family dog, Riley. From here, she meets a host of colorful characters who help stir the pot by revealing key ingredients that heighten her sense of urgency to intervene. But are her fears valid or is she merely reacting to Tess's rich imagination for mystery? The only thing for certain is that as mother and daughter separately chase down clues their joint obsession to uncover the truth remains steady. There are too many red flags to ignore and the stakes are high. Something's got to give before it's too late!Tous Droits Réservés

The world ended, but people didn't. Not entirely. Twenty years after the outbreak, survival has become second nature. But when Althea agrees to help smuggle a girl across the country, everything shifts. There's Joel: quiet, brutal, impossible. The gruff, closed-off man with blood on his hands and grief in his bones. There's Ellie: foul-mouthed and sharp-eyed, with too much riding on her small shoulders. And there's Althea, stuck somewhere between running from her past and crashing headfirst into a future she never dared to want. Love isn't safe. Hope isn't smart. But some things are worth the risk. Because in the end, it's not about what you've lost, but what you're willing to fight for, even when the world seems beyond saving.

Where the Wildflowers Rot-TLOU, écrit par s0mberVFX

In the crumbling world that came after the outbreak, survival was a currency Joel and Tess had long since learned to trade in. They had no room left for softness-no room for attachments. So when FEDRA handed them a ten-year-old orphan named Delilah in 2027, it felt more like a punishment than a responsibility. She wasn't wanted. Not at first. But the world has a way of forging bonds in blood, grit, and silence. Years later, Delilah is older, sharper, and more damaged than a girl her age should ever have to be. She's learned to keep her guard up. She's learned how to fight. And when Joel and Tess take on the job of escorting a strange, immune girl named Ellie across the country, Delilah finds herself dragged into a journey she never asked for-one that will unravel everything she thought she understood about family, loyalty, and what it means to survive. Set in the years before and during the events of The Last of Us, Where the Wildflowers Rot explores a broken world through the eyes of a forgotten girl growing up among ghosts, smuggling rings, and the quiet, aching love of two people who never planned to care. Because even in a world overrun by rot, sometimes things still try to grow

Lost in the waves, écrit par SolitaireHolden12

Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.

Ageless Secrets , écrit par FinalGirl96

Yn Servopoulos is Tess' younger sister. She was only fifteen when the Cordyceps outbreak happened on September 26, 2003. Four almost five years into the outbreak, when she's nineteen, she and Tess meet two brothers, Joel and Tommy Miller. They team up with them and fight together until they reach the Boston QZ. Over the years, yn grows a crush on the eldest brother, Joel. But she hides her crush because, one, He's older than she is; Joel was 32 when the outbreak happened; she was only fifteen. That makes him seventeen years older than her. Now, that didn't really bother her much, at least not in this world. Joel was strong and fearless, or at least he seemed to be fearless. He knew how to take charge, and he protected the ones he cared about. The second thing was that yn was at least eight percent sure Joel and her sister were in some kind of relationship. Third of all, she was definitely sure the man hated her. What she failed to realize was that Joel did like her; he liked her more than he thought he should. She's younger than him. She was only a couple of years older than Sarah. Then there was the fact that she was Tess' sister. He considered Tess a friend. He's might go as far as to say she's best friend. They grew closer because of the similar trauma they suffered from the outbreak. He lost Sarah, and Tess lost both her husband and her little boy. He made it his mission to keep yn at a distance, not too distant, though. He still looked out for her and had the strong feeling to always protect her. And he never failed to feel angry or jealous when another man got too close. When twenty years into the outbreak they find themselves smuggling a fourteen year old girl out of the QZ to get her to a lab because she's immune and could be the key to a cure, they lose Tess on the way, leaving them to only have each other. Secrets come out, and feelings become confused and awkward.
