The year is 1987, and Kate, Emerson, Ezra, and Iggy are spending the next two months at a summer camp in Northern Maine. Camp Blue Sun, the camp known for its strange name, mystical bonfire stories, and it's breathtaking lake. All is well until a body is found in the woods, along with a suspicious set of events leading up to it. Now they need to figure out what's going on and keep themselves safe while trying to uncover the true events. The deeper they get, the more secrets are revealed, until they're practically drowning in their discoveries.

The Girl Left Behind
Lily Morgan has never truly belonged. After surviving the fire that killed her parents as a baby, she was taken in by relatives who never wanted her-an obligation, not a child. For seventeen years, she's lived in a house that feels more like a prison, haunted by a past she can't remember and a future she isn't sure she wants. But when her senior class plans a week-long trip to Hollow Pines, something inside her whispers that this isn't just a getaway. It's a warning. Because Hollow Pines isn't just any camp. People have gone missing there before. And when Lily vanishes on the third night, her friends are left scrambling for answers-only to uncover secrets that should have stayed buried. Somebody wanted Lily dead the night her parents burned. And this time, they won't fail. A haunting mystery filled with secrets, betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is Lying.

Camp Twin Tails
Marina and her twin brother Calder never wanted to be going to summer camp. Let alone some stupid camp named after twins. The whole thing was their mom's idea, Marina hoped it was a joke. She would much rather spend her time in their quiet lakeside home, instead of in an old cabin surrounded by yelling children. But there's something fishy about the camp directors Mr. Billie and Ms. Iris, and it's not just the large Queen Lake on the camp's property. Ghost stories here are all too real for Marina's liking. And the forbidden graveyard just passed the camp's boundaries makes them that much more believable. When paranormal things start happening--the kind straight out of a movie--Marina and Calder decide to find out for themselves what exactly is going on at Camp Twin Tails, and they're not the only curious new arrivals at camp. Can a bunch of kids really hope to solve a decade old mystery?Complete
