The house of dolls

Marin's mother moves the family to a small Californian seaside resort to make a fresh start after losing their father. They haven't been there long before they become aware of the mystery of the missing teenagers which hovers over the town. Marin struggles to fit in at her new school, but a project to visit lonely old people in the neighborhood teams her up with Jack, the coolest boy in school, and lifts her spirits. All seems to be going well, that is until the project leads the pair to an isolated house on the cliffs -  a house filled with dolls, all of which bear an uncanny resemblance to the missing kids. Will Marin and Jack solve the town's dark mystery, or fall victims to it themselves?

A world behind the sky

Life is pretty perfect for Jay and the rest of the students at the Temjla Academy, an exclusive boarding school nestling in the Swiss Alps. The lessons are easy, the food is good and apart from the strict headteacher, Mrs Danton, the faculty is kind. When a strange virus strikes, however, and one student disobeys the warning never to set foot in the dark woods surrounding the school and disappears, Jay becomes suspicious. He digs deeper into the forces behind the Temjla Academy and after his investigation takes a sinister turn he too runs away, trying to escape through the forbidden forest. That's when Jay makes an earth shattering discovery - nothing in his world is what it seems.
