Dead Good Detectives: Ghost Rescue by JENNY MCLACHLAN

Sid Jones and her best friend Zen successfully freed a pirate ghost named Bones from spending eternity trapped in a graveyard prison. Now, they want to help the others, but Sid, Zen, and Bones will have to avoid being caught by Old Scratch, the creepy specter who guards the prisoners.

When their ghost friends start disappearing bit by bit, the pressure is on to free them all before they’re turned to wraiths. But Sid soon finds out that Old Scratch isn’t the only thing to be afraid of. With a mysterious figure tracking her every move, she'll have to find the power within herself to save her friends—before she gets turned into a ghost, too.

Skandar and the Spirit War by A.F. STEADMAN

The Island is at war. Skandar, now an outlaw, is in hiding after Rex Manning revealed a game-changing secret at the Chaos Cup. But as Rex prepares to invade the Mainland, the Islanders are not sure who to trust. With one of Skandar’s closest friends now fighting for the enemy, Skandar must build new alliances—including an uneasy truce with Kenna.

To defeat Rex, Skandar and his friends will need to look back to the origins of the Island and harness the full power of their elemental magic. Can Skandar become the leader he needs to be—to save the Mainland, and the heart of the Island itself?
