Think you know it all? Of course you do! But there are a multitude of so-called "facts" that are nothing more than myths. For instance: Carrots improve your vision. Even though you've never seen a rabbit with glasses, this little tidbit is actually a trick played by the Royal Air Force in World War II. This book debunks many things we think are true but actually have no basis in fact. It also includes a bunch of weird but true stuff along the way such as: ¢¢ Lightning never strikes twice in the same place. ¢¢ Lemmings commit mass suicide. ¢¢ Using a cell phone at a gas station could cause a fire. ¢¢ Sugar makes kids hyperactive. And, as a special bonus, included are "WRONG" stickers that can be used to clarify things for your all-knowing friends and loved ones. Just because everyone thinks so doesn't mean it is true!

Paige Parker can't wait to turn fourteen. Thirteen is definitely not her lucky number. So much has changed since her thirteenth birthday. Uprooted from her lifelong home in Providence, Rhode Island, she's now living in a run-down farmhouse in the rural village of Heather Hollow, afraid she'll die of boredom. Paige soon finds boredom is the least of her worries. There's already someone in residence in her new home: the ghost of a girl who died more than a century ago! Worse, the ghost seems to have a connection to Mercy Brown, the infamous vampire buried in a local cemetery. Paige enlists the help of her friend Amelia to sort out all the bizarre aspects of life in Heather Hollow: there's a clique of mean girls on mopeds, a goth girl with an interest in historic cemeteries, a cute boy with an uncle who authored a book on time travel, and an ancient librarian protecting a secret. There's also the Something that's lurking in the woods nearby. Something that seems to be stalking Paige. Can Paige uncover the truth about her strange new home in time to save herself from a terrible fate? Or will she become another casualty of the evil that lurks in Heather Hollow?

The mean girls at Heather Hollow High. Queen bee Heather Duffy is using all her nastiest tricks to make the new girl in town feel very unwelcome.

And what is that vegetarian stuff her mother keeps making for dinner? With the help of her wisecracking best friend Amelia and her super-cute new buddy Gabe, Paige tries to solve the mounting mysteries. She uncovers secrets at every turn, some darker than others. With just days to go until her fourteenth birthday, Paige finds herself in a place where the government waged an unthinkable war against children.
