Twelve-year-old book lover Florence is thrilled to be leaving Miss Medleycoate’s Home for Orphan Girls to live at Crutchfield Hall with her newly discovered great-aunt, great-uncle, and cousin James. Six months before, James’ sister, Sophia, died in an accident, and Florence quickly discovers that Sophia’s ghost is haunting Crutchfield to punish James for his part in her death. Sophia is full of malice and pride, and as she grows in strength, Florence fears for James’ safety, yet she feels powerless to resist Sophia’s control. As in every ghost story, readers must suspend disbelief to avoid being tripped up by the inexplicable (most notably, Sophia’s ability to touch others and control their actions), but this short tale is a good choice for reluctant readers, especially girls.

Wendy Mass turns to another magical birthday: 13!When Tara, a self-proclaimed shrinking violet, steals the school mascot, a goat, in order to make some friends with the popular crowd and gets caught, she gets herself in a heap of trouble. In addition, her parents decide that instead of taking her on their summer trip to Madagascar to study the courtship rituals of the Bamboo Lemur, she must go stay with her aunt, uncle, and bratty cousin Emily St. Claire in Willow Falls. Tara thinks it's a good time to start over; she'll be turning 13 after all, so she might as well make the best of it and perhaps even attempt to break out of her shell (in a non-criminal manner). What Tara doesn't know is that this charmed town has something big in store for her on her 13th birthday. It's not a typical birthday. But then again, nothing is Willow Falls is exactly typical!

Twins Oliver and Celia Navel hate adventures. They would rather watch television, but their parents are world-famous explorers. Then their mother goes missing, and the twins accompany their father to Tibet in search of her. There, they encounter a yeti and witches and battle the evil and diminutive explorer, Sir Edmund Titheltorpe-Schmidt III. Fortunately, their vast television watching has given them enough useful ideas to help overcome the obstacles in their way, and readers learn that in a future series installment, the formerly safe and sedentary Navel twins will try to recover the lost library of Alexandria. The many sarcastic and ironic remarks grow somewhat tiresome as the long story wears on, but among the many recent novels that feature kids who fearlessly save the world, however, this one stands out for its funny take on the theme.
