In the city of Puck''s Port, where motorized vehicles fill the streets and new technological marvels abound, something rotten is lurking under the surface. A violent murder at the docks seems to point to a fey killer, igniting a powder keg of distrust between the city''s humans and its fey inhabitants - folks who wield wonderful but often uncontrollable magical power. Gristle Senan Maxim Junior finds himself caught in the middle. Forced into the reluctant role of private investigator, like his late father, he''s working to solve the mystery of this fiery murder - mainly because his sister, Hawthorne Stregoni, is a fey herself with an unfortunate penchant for setting things ablaze. Hawthorne is part of an experimental study to control feyism but struggles to keep her powerful magic in check in a country that hates what she is. Can she and Gristle work together to find the true instigator of the murder before it''s too late?

He is filled with excitement and happiness looking at all the beautiful decorations and joyous people, yet he can''t help but feel sad that his friends can''t be there. But then, after almost getting caught in a blizzard, the little ghost quilt is struck by inspiration...

He learns that his kokom was taken away to one of these schools with her sister, who also didn''t come home. That night, James can''t sleep so he follows the moonlit path to his mother.

Seventeen-year-old Jamie Taher-Foster has big plans for senior year. She''s made a list of things and places in Toronto she and her boyfriend of three years, Ben Cameron, need to check off before graduating. And the biggest plan of all: a very special night for the two of them at the upcoming Winter Formal. But then Ben arrives back home after a summer away with an unthinkable announcement: he wants to break up. And when Jamie discovers him with Olivia Chen the next day, she is determined to get him back. Even if that means fake dating the younger, curly-haired, TikTok dancer Axel Dahini, whose bicycle she accidentally ran over. Though she and Axel have nothing in common aside from their shared Arab heritage - she''s a messy, type A with anxiety; he''s carefree but meticulous - their forced time together brings them to better understand one another. And for Jamie, it just might mean learning that not all experiences or people need to be crossed off a list.

Bee''s mom has a job in New York City for the summer, so Bee is being sent to summer camp. She''s not excited about it. Being around other people is hard for her, plus she knows nothing about campfires, she''s not a good swimmer and she''s never even been in a canoe. When she first arrives, things go pretty much as she expected. The other girls either make fun of her or ignore her, and the woods surrounding the camp give her the creeps: she keeps hearing elusive music coming from somewhere in the distance, and there''s something off about it. But then Zippy comes on the scene - an oddball like Bee, but with a lot more confidence and hard-won knowledge gleaned from many summers spent at this exact camp. And most importantly, Zippy has also discovered mysterious behaviour going on at the camp: the older girls from the Hawks cabin are sneaking out to do... something. They''re always exhausted, and their flashlight batteries are running out at an alarming rate. But their counsellors are never woken up by girls sneaking out, no one on staff doing nightly rounds ever sees them outside the cabin, and even when they start doing a bed check at night, the girls all seem to be in their bunks. Zippy and Bee are on the case, and with the help of an unlikely ally, they try to figure out what the Hawks are up to. But they soon discover there''s more going on than just the usual summer camp hijinks. How are the Hawks getting out at night? What is the deal with the (very cute) mysterious boy who seems to be working with the groundskeeper? Where is the distant music coming from? And what does the elusive camp founder know about all of it?

Danger lies ahead and behind; will the pair survive their fool''s errand, and will this quest see their romance grow cold - or will it burn hotter than ever?
