On the Road with Mallory

Laurie Friedman

Sinopse

Mallory has a new journal, just in time for her family's vacation to the Grand Canyon. She can't wait for the road trip—until it turns out that her cousin, Kate, is coming along. Kate would rather read a list of "fun facts" than have actual fun at the amazing stops along the route. And when Kate catches Max texting a mysterious girl, the backseat of the minivan starts to seem like the last place Mallory wants to be. With everyone arguing and keeping secrets, can Mallory somehow save the trip?

The Titanic Locket

Suzanne Weyn

A mysterious locket adds some chilling surprises to a family’s cruise in this spooky tale by the author of the Bar Code Trilogy.

Don’t touch anything in The Haunted Museum!

It looks like the high point of Samantha’s spring vacation is going to be a glimpse of a cute boy she sees at The Haunted Museum in England. She and her sister, Jessica, and their parents are taking a cruise on the Titanic 2, a replica of the original Titanic, and there’s not even wifi! At least the Titanic exhibit at the Haunted Museum had wax figures and beautiful jewels to look at.

But from their first day, Samantha and Jessica notice strange things happening. Their cabin number keeps changing. There are creepy scratching sounds coming from between the walls. And a locket that Jess opened at the museum seems to be . . . following them.

Is the locket haunted? Or could it be the ship itself? Are there actors in costume walking about the ship . . . or could they be ghosts? Why is Sam’s sister calling her by another name? Samantha will have to unravel the threads tying her and her sister to the past, or they could go down with the ship!

“Told in gripping first-person narrative, this novel features interesting characters and creates a strong sense of time and place, while exploring the mysteries of the spirit world.” —School Library Journal
