In this middle-grade mystery, eleven year old Charlie moves from NYC to Florida only to find herself in the haunted Winklevoss Manor. To her surprise, she's not alone--she's joined by three mischievous ghosts cursed for snatching a dead man's diamond. After twelve-year-old Charlie moves from New York City to sweaty, sticky Florida, she'll do anything to get back home. Even if it involves ghosts. Winklevoss Manor, Charlie's new house, is a towering Victorian mansion famous for one thing--it's haunted. Three ghosts--Ada, Arthur, and Guff--live there, and not by choice. They're trapped, cursed for stealing a dead man's diamond. A diamond that, just like the ghosts, is still in the house. And this gets Charlie thinking. . . Maybe if she can find the diamond and sell it, Charlie's family could have enough money to move back to the city. But lifting the curse isn't that simple, especially when she's pitted against the school bully and three unruly spirits. It's frightening to think about, but what if the only way to get rid of the ghosts and curses is by doing what Charlie fears the most--confronting the past that haunts her?

As mysterious deaths sweep the countryside and rumors of a local beast intensify, many see this as a curse. But for Joséphine and Clara, it's a dark opportunity to break free from their harsh lives. Step into this chilling, historical horror inspired by the unsolved mystery of the Beast of Gevaudan. When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe it's a curse--God's punishment for their sins. But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isn't a curse. It's an opportunity. For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare--fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons--and this is a chance to get them out. Using the creature's attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friends' deaths and hide them away until it's safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they can't brave a harsh winter with little food... If the villagers discover what they're doing... If the beast finds them first... Those fake deaths might just become real ones.
