An introduction to astrology for young readers.

Ten-year old Olive is going to be in a commercial, but she really is not sure she can land the gymnastics stunt written for it, and her cross-country email pal Molly is jealous and determined to get into a commercial herself (pretty much any commerical will do)--and now their friendship is threatened by their increasingly testy emails.

Molly, who lives in New York City, and Olive, who lives on a farm in Iowa, are email friends, and both think that the other would be in serious trouble if they exchanged places--so they make a bet, and while Olive is getting totally lost in Minneapolis, Molly is at a farm in upstate New York desperately trying to milk a goat.

"Elva Zona Heaster Shue died in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, in January 1897. Her death was originally thought to be from natural causes. But when Zona's ghost began visiting her mother, the death began to look a lot more suspicious. This terrifying true story details the trial of Zona's murderer and the evidence presented against him from Zona herself, beyond the grave"--Provided by the publisher.

Ten-year-old Angie DelMar is sure that there is something creepy and dangerous about her new neighbor, Ms. Doody: somebody who has a book entitled The ABCs of World Domination is obviously up to no good; but when Angie and her friends steal the growth serum intended to create giant insects they accidentally release it at the local day care--and the town is suddenly besieged by giant screaming toddlers in diapers.

Todd, a quarterback and popular senior, asks Jinx and Jackson to investigate a haunting at his family's tavern, where glasses move on their own and voices whisper horrible things each time Todd and his brother are fighting.

High schoolers Jinx and Jackson investigate a new student's claim that ghosts are following him.

"Maiv is a model daughter, a caring older sister, a top student-the responsible one. She's not someone who'd get mixed up in something as risky as the Contest. But the huge prize would help her afford college and help her family make ends meet. The problem? The Contest is not what it seems. On the other hand, neither is Maiv. She's determined to uncover the Benefactor's secrets, before it's too late."--Back cover.

Ella, an aspiring baker, always tries to make things perfect, but she comes to appreciate the differences in people and in life when the mysterious Marta opens a bake shop selling cookies that have a strange effect on the town.

Best friends Jinx and Jackson suspect a ghost may be responsible when several popular students decide to harm themselves by jumping off a local bridge.
