More About the Books: It Found Us follows an aspiring girl detective who must decode a series of ominous clues, which may be tied to a century-old tragedy, to find a missing teenager before it’s too late! Twelve-year-old Hazel Woods has always had an unusual knack for sleuthing. Some may call it snooping, but all she really wants is to solve mysteries around town. So, when she not-so-accidentally overhears her brother Den planning to sneak into the cemetery at night for an epic game of hide-and-seek, she decides to secretly tag along. From her hiding spot in the bushes, she overhears that her brother’s best friend, Everett, is missing. Hazel and Den are determined to find Everett before it’s too late.
 
Field of Screams is a new pulse-pounding supernatural mystery about twelve-year-old Rebecca, who has always wanted to hunt ghosts . . . until she meets one. Paranormal enthusiast Rebecca Graff isn’t happy about being dragged to Iowa to spend the summer with family she barely knows. But when she tracks a ghostly presence to an abandoned farmhouse, she starts to think the summer won’t be a total lost cause! Soon she is in a race to piece together the puzzle and recover a family legacy before it is lost forever, and a horrible tragedy repeats itself.

Wendy Parris grew up loving books and hoping, but failing, to see a ghost. After graduating from Northwestern University, she acted in small Chicago storefront theaters, performed improv comedy, and worked in public relations. When not thinking up spooky tales, she likes to kayak, travel, and go to movies. She lives with her family near Chicago in an old house that is probably not haunted. Field of Screams is her debut novel.
