Tis the Season for Reading: Scholastic’s Christmas Gift Guide 2024: Teen

Our teen highlight

A nail-biting and perfectly formed Thriller for the YA BookTok generation. This is SCOOBY DOO meets PRETTY LITTLE LIARS.

When hot “it-couple” Brad and Shelley are brutally murdered in a manor on the edge of town, a group of teen friends investigate. Set in Sanera, a small community in California where rumour spreads as fast as the fire on the day of the killings, the theory is the old ghoul who haunts the house after his own murder hundreds of years ago has finally taken revenge.

As Cam, Jonesy, Amber and new-girl Buffy investigate, the rumour feels closer to the truth than they ever dared think possible, and as they enter the mansion themselves, the idea of splitting up to find evidence will prove to be either the best … or worst decision of all…
