And things like: Fifth graders who hog the kickball court, snooty school yard cliques, a Pop Star girl, school yard games like High Jump and One Fly Up, a dog named Monster, googlie-eyed school yard crushes, a substitute teacher, the Harvest Moon Potluck, a couple of birthday parties, and a crazy school yard brawl on the first day of school, all set the story of Peach and Plum in motion as the school year rolls itself out. Mayfair easily makes new friends at Maverick Elem (what the children call it), and everything is fine until the leader of The Snootish Girls, Kiara Campbell, gets kicked out of her own clique. When she highjacks Mayfair's litle circle of friends, Kiara banishes Mayfair's BFF from the group simply because Xembi reminds Kiara of another girl she can't stand. Fed up with Kiara's mean-girl ways and holding everybody hostage during lunch and recess, Mayfair stands up to Kiara when she finds out that Xembi might go to home school because of the bullying. And just when things get back to normal, Mayfair has one last show down with Kiara Campbell on the last day of school.

Brigid James is haunted. Her first day of senior year is spent hiding the gnarly scar on her wrist and hoping the whole school doesn’t know she spent her summer vacation in a wellness center after attempting to take her own life. With a detached and overworked mother and a pathetic excuse for a best friend, Brigid’s arsenal of emotional support is lacking.When Brigid meets Tunnel, the handsome new guy who literally makes her lose her senses, she is introduced to the underground world of ghosts and demons—a world that exists in plain sight if you’ve had a brush with death and when you know what to look for. Brigid recognizes one of these ghosts. He showed up at her school, obviously out of place, speaking utter nonsense. When one by one Brigid’s enemies suffer freak horrific accidents, the ghost seems the obvious culprit, but Brigid can’t shake the fact that her new boyfriend is growing increasingly possessive and his choice of vocabulary exactly matches the voice in her nightmares that claims, “You are mine.” **This book is for mature teen readers for strong language, attempted teen suicide, drug and alcohol use, and intense situations. This book is the first book in the Brigid's Ghosts series and it does not have a cliffhanger ending**
