The Vampire’s Lair
by Dee Phillips (Author)

Booktalk: When twin brothers Dylan and Jack travel to a Romanian castle to attend their older sister’s wedding, they discover an old legend that haunts the remote castle. The twins’ fascination soon turns to horror, however, when they realize that there’s a vampire in the castle’s dungeon. What will happen once the bloodthirsty vampire begins stalking the castle’s dark passageways? Will Dylan and Jack be able to escape with their lives?

Snippet: “It was my destiny from birth to be a hunter of vampires,” he said. “My father was a vampire hunter, as was my grandfather before him. My family members have hunted and destroyed these evil monsters for generations.”

Friday Barnes Under Suspicion
by R. A. Spratt (Author) and Phil Gosier (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Getting arrested was the last thing Friday expected after solving the swamp-yeti mystery at her boarding school. But she better clear her name fast! She’s got new cases to investigate, like a scandalous quiche bake-off, a decades old mystery buried in her school’s backyard, and why the new boy, Christopher, is being so nice to her.

Snippet: “Barnes,” snapped a voice from behind them.

Friday and Melanie turned around. The Headmaster was standing next to a uniformed police sergeant.

“What’s this?” asked Friday. “Am I getting some sort of citizenship ward for everything I’ve done for the school?”

“No,” said the Headmaster soberly. “I’m afraid not.”

“Friday Barnes,” said the police sergeant, “I have to ask you to come with me.”

“Why?” asked Friday.

“Because I’m arresting you,” said the police sergeant.
