The last sleepover / by Stine, R. L.;
Lily and her brother Rory have just moved into a new house after their family spent months renovating it. The formerly rundown, creepy old house is now totally transformed into a tech lover's dream. Rory has installed a smart device called Mastermind that can turn on lights, lock doors, and even open the windows, among other things. He and Lily love showing off what the Mastermind can do. But someone doesn't love the changes -- the ghost of the girl who died in the house. She's angry -- and ready for revenge.

An ordinary violence : a novel / by Chartrand, Adriana,author.;
Dawn hasn't spoken to her brother, Cody, since he was sent to prison for a violent crime seven years ago. Now living in a shiny new Toronto condo, Dawn is haunted by uncanny occurrences, including cryptic messages from her dead mother, that have followed her most of her life. When the life Dawn thought she wanted implodes, she is forced to return to her childhood home and the prairie city that hold so much pain for her and her fractured family. Cody is unexpectedly released from prison with a mysterious new friend by his side, who seems to be the charismatic leader of a dangerous supernatural network. Trying to uncover their plans, Dawn follows increasingly sinister leads until the lines between this world and the next, now and then, and right and wrong begin to blur and dissolve. What unfolds is an eerie, incisive, and at times darkly funny horror novel about a young Indigenous woman reckoning with trauma and violence, loss and reclamation in an unsettling world where spirit realms entwine with the living-and where it is humans who carry out the truly monstrous acts.

Ginger. Honey. Cinnamon. Flour. Twenty years after the witch in the gingerbread house, Greta and Hans are struggling to get by. Their mother and stepmother are long dead, Hans is deeply in debt from gambling, and the countryside lies in ruin, its people starving in the aftermath of a brutal war. Greta has a secret, though: the witch's grimoire, secreted away and whispering in Greta's ear for the past two decades, and the recipe inside that makes the best gingerbread you've ever tasted. As long as she can bake, Greta can keep her small family afloat. But in a village full of superstition, Greta and her mysteriously addictive gingerbread, not to mention the rumors about her childhood misadventures, is a source of gossip and suspicion. And now, dark magic is returning to the woods and Greta's magic-magic she is still trying to understand-may be the only thing that can save her. If it doesn't kill her first"--

Time lions and the chrono-loop / by Seneviratne, Martin.; Sutherland, Krystal.;
Twins Pearl and Patrick are no ordinary twelve-year-olds. They're geniuses, hiding in plain sight, who pull heists all over the world to further their scientific and historical research. Their criminal activity, including grand theft auto and espionage, has made them a regular nuisance to both the CIA and MI5. But it's all been worth it. They've finally achieved their greatest triumph: time travel. Pearl's Chrono-Loop can take the twins anywhere in time! Their first stop: ancient Egypt, where they even get to see King Tut! But when they return home, they're arrested by TIME--The Interdimensional Misconduct Enquiry--a secret organization charged with maintaining the timeline. Turns out Pearl and Patrick didn't invent time travel, after all--that happened two hundred years ago! And what Pearl did in ancient Egypt--killing a mosquito--could have rewritten history as we know it if not for TIME agents stepping in. Punishment for disrupting the timeline is 100 years in the Eternal Abyss. But TIME, impressed by the pair, offers them a chance to become agents. Unfortunately, they fail their entrance exam and instead are banned from ever attempting time travel again. Pearl is furious, and when she's offered another chance at time travel by a rival organization, she takes it! Too late, she realizes she's been tricked and unwittingly plays a part in replacing the timeline they know with a nightmarish scenario. Now Pearl and Patrick must clean up the mess they've made. But to restore the timeline, they have to go back to the beginning--to Lion Rock--to convince the real inventor of time travel to help them save time and the world.
