friendship lightning middlegrade middleschool mystery seventhgrade stories summerschool

Cole is stuck in summer school; lucky for him, his only friend Adam is, too. Before the air-conditionless torture begins, the two discover a trunk of old papers high up in a deserted treehouse, and when they begin reading, they find that the stories are written about them. Because of the strange tales, Cole begins to believe he has powers that were transferred to him from a lightning bolt that struck him years ago. Adam, however, doesn't really pay attention to Cole--he has other things to worry about, like figuring out what happened to his dad and trying to stop some stranger from dating his mom. The summer's a weird one, and as Cole starts to befriend an old enemy, things turn sour. When a tornado hits town at the end of the summer and Adam disappears, Cole is no longer sure he knows his friend well enough to find him.All Rights Reserved

The Boys Who Broke Christmas by TygovB

In a cold, snow-covered city, Christmas has disappeared-completely erased from memory. There are no lights, no trees, no festive cheer. It's like the holiday never existed at all. Except for two 14-year-old boys, Luke and Max, who still remember everything about it. They're the only ones who feel the absence of Christmas, and they can't ignore the eerie silence that has settled over their world. What begins as a quiet realization quickly spirals into a strange and thrilling journey. Together, the boys uncover that Christmas hasn't just been forgotten-it's been deliberately erased by a mysterious, angry figure who's decided the world no longer deserves the holiday. As they dig deeper into the mystery, Luke and Max encounter strange characters, twisted remnants of holiday traditions, and an alternate reality where Christmas was never real. Along the way, the boys' friendship deepens, hovering on the edge of something more as they navigate their evolving feelings for each other. Their bond becomes their guiding light in a world that's grown cold and joyless. But time is running out. With every day that passes, Christmas slips further away, and the world grows darker. To bring it back, Luke and Max must confront not only the bitter person who deleted the holiday but also their own fears, doubts, and the tension between them. Full of heartwarming moments, dark humor, and surreal twists, The Year Christmas Disappeared is an emotional, weird, and unforgettable story of friendship, love, and the fight to reclaim hope when the world seems determined to forget it.

What if they never find out what happened to Jude? Will Halle be able to handle the thought of him being gone forever? If there's one thing Halle's sure of, it's that Jude wouldn't have left without saying goodbye. She didn't get her goodbye, so he can't be gone for good, right?

DOGWOOD ✔︎ by elle-blair

Thirteen-year-old Ginna's only connection to her long-dead mother is the dogwood in her backyard. The tree radiates a warm sort of buzz which might possibly be magic. Or is it a trick of her imagination? That's the agonizing question that earned her the label, "weirdo who talks to trees."

The source, an opinionated tree spirit named Dogwood, claims she accidentally stepped into Ginna's body. But now that the spirit has access to Ginna's thoughts and memories, she's in no hurry to go back where she belongs. Until Ginna figures out that Dogwood is hiding information about her mom. Now it's Ginna who doesn't want to let go. She has so many questions-but there's no time to wait for the stubborn spirit to answer.

Flipped by ratatat444

{FEATURED ON WATTPAD UNDISCOVERED LIST} Sometimes, things can happen in your life that change everything. Moving to a new town. Your parents going through a divorce. Dating someone new. Those sorts of things. Good, bad, easy, hard. Normal. But sometimes strange things happen to people. Ask Chris. He might tell you about when someone started blowing up his phone, telling him to go places in his town. In the middle of the night. Which would be weird enough, except this person - if it is a person - seems to know more about his and his friends' new reality than they do. Than anyone does. Now Chris, Ava, Taylor, and Mike need to find out what's going on. Before they all go insane.
