Town Ghosts follows four middle schoolers who live in two sister towns in rural Ontario as they work to uncover the mystery of who was left behind at their towns' founding, while uncovering mysteries about themselves, too.

When Marnie moved with her parents from her home in busy downtown Ottawa to tiny Pryeville, a town barely on the map, she didn't have high hopes for any part of it. She'd left behind all her friends in elementary school, just to start middle school in a school so small both grades were taught in the same room. But meeting Sophia changed everything, sending her life spiraling along to the beat of the ethereal hooves that seemed to follow her…

For Edgar, too, life seemed like it couldn't get worse. Stuck with his cruel, uncaring father, all he wanted to do was build himself a computer and maybe figure out what his new friend Donald really made him feel. But with this new girl living in the town over from him, where he lived in Sowridge, spells trouble of a different kind, a kind he comes face to face with himself one night…

It is suddenly up to four middle schoolers to solve the mystery of the two towns and their ghosts, whatever it takes, no matter how much their lives will change in the process…

The first instalment in the Shimmering Lake Summer camp series, Whisper in the Woods follows Ronnie and Morgan, two teenagers with turbulent home lives, as they attend the first session of a summer camp focused on helping trouble youth connect to each other, themselves, and the world around them.

Ronnie has just been through a traumatizing event that he can't understand and is being left in the dark about by his own mother, all while struggling to piece together why he's been raised to believe he and his mother are the only vampires in the world.

Like most things in Morgan's life, going to camp was sprung on her without her consent, but it gets her away from her painful home life and offers a glimpse into the world of Silent Woods, where she, a werewolf, might find more belonging than the suburbs of Ottawa.

But there's more to the camp than what anyone is telling them, and a long standing is conflict bubbling up in the lake…

The second instalment in the Shimmering Lake Summer Camp series, Lured to the Lake follows Ava and Sid as they attend the second session of camp, one year after Ronnie and Morgan did, as camp counselors Shebal and Jason are joined by previous camper Abigail in their struggle to balance running the camp effectively while exposing the campers to the truth about Silent Woods.

Ava and her siblings, Gwen and Henry, have lived a long life of hardship. Even now that they're living happily with their adoptive family, they struggle to handle the way life has treated them. Ava feels she will never be free of the shadow of their father, with Henry mirroring him more and more every day. When even the camp proves to not be a safe escape for her, it takes a lot, from love to magic, for her to feel safe again. But at the end of the summer, she discovers she is more than a scared little girl.

Meanwhile, Sid finds himself caught in a strange world, falling in love with a fellow camper who can turn into a lion, and lured to the lake by the mournful songs of a glittering white kelpie.

But they're not the only thing lurking in the waters of Shimmering Lake, and a love triangle is the least of Sid's problems…
