Berge Sisters

Thirteen-year-old Lacey Berge is furious. Her dad has dragged her to her late great-uncle's mansion in the mountains of Vermont, and taken her stepsister Cal along for the ride. Lacey can't stand that little know-it-all, and nothing her dad can say or do will force them to bond. Soon after they arrive, an emergency forces Lacey's dad to leave the girls on their own. When they take the opportunity to explore, they discover a secret lab and accidentally open a portal to another dimension, unleashing a horde of mischievous monsters into the mansion! Can these reluctant siblings put aside their differences long enough to get rid of the creatures before Lacey's dad gets back?

Ever Since Lacey and Cal's adventure through the Neitherswarth, the two stepsisters have never been closer. But when Cal comes to visit Lacey at St. Agatha's Boarding School for Girls, Lacey can't help but feel nervous. She wants to embrace her new family, but would doing so betray her late mother's memory? Cal convinces Lacey to explore Warble Hall, a long-abandoned dorm on St. Aggie's campus, before it's torn down. Little do they suspect that the spirits of the building's former residents still roam the halls, ruled over by an evil housemother who's determined to make Lacey and Cal her newest wards. With the help of a spirited new friend-who just might have a surprising connection to Lacey's past-the Berge sisters will have to avoid the housemother's clutches, outsmart a mad wraith, and face down a clique of ghostly mean girls, all before the building is demolished at dawn. Can Lacey and Cal escape, or will they become permanent residents of Warble Hall?

The Third Chapter in the Berge Sisters series! In the woods of Stone Hollow, a town where dense trees shade the sidewalks and glowing mushrooms grow wild, a strange artifact has appeared as if out of nowhere. Stepsisters Lacey and Cal are excited to study the artifact with Cal's archeologist mom. But when they're unexpectedly denied access to the site, the girls are forced to entertain themselves for the summer. Lacey finds solace when she befriends an eccentric girl from the neighborhood, but is there more to her than meets the eye? Meanwhile, Cal becomes obsessed with the creepy old house next door. Bright lights flash from its basement at night, and cryptic symbols adorn its lawn. With Lacey growing more and more distant, Cal will have to investigate without her. Is she being paranoid, or is something sinister going on? The answers Cal seeks will lead the Berge sisters into the woods of Stone Hollow. What they find will not only threaten their lives but challenge their loyalty to each other.
