Jonno does NOT want to change schools, so puts zero effort into making new friends while dreaming up ways to get back to his old ones. But Plan A just isn't convincing his parents their move was a mistake! What he needs is something a bit more dramatic...

Finding a dead body at my new school was a pretty rubbish way to start. But actually getting mixed up in the case? I was bound to get into deep, deep trouble for that!

Jonno's a HUGE murder mystery fan, and when the wrong person's arrested for the crime, he realises playing detective might just be a perfect Plan B.

He's not alone; Star Trek superfan Daniel and snoopy school reporter Lydia have their own, secret reasons for wanting to solve the case...

And the list of teachers who wanted to see Mr Baynton dead is LONG. While Jonno doesn't want new besties... he might need all the help he can get.

Book 1 in The Detention Detectives series.

By night, Finnegan Quick has horrible nightmares. By day, they come TRUE. Unfortunately for him, after dreaming his parents out of reality, his nightmares are the only hope he has of one day finding them again.

To discover the truth of his parents’ disappearance, Finn investigates the paranormal with his best friends, Squid and Cass. Their only lead is a mysterious urban legend about a girl in Ireland whose body remained perfect, even after death.

That very night, Finn finds out why. In his dreams, he finds the banshee. He hears her scream and with it, sees a vision of the future.

Squid. His best friend. Face down in water, dead.

In the waking world, Finn is left with no choice: unravel the mystery of the Banshee’s curse, or risk losing the only family he has left…

Tom is still quiet and timid, even though his dad has been gone for nearly two years now. Zofia is the opposite. Inside her there's a raging storm that makes her want to fight the whole world until she gets what she wants. And what she wants is for scaredy-cat Tom to get out of her life. Tom hates loud, unpredictable Zofia just as much, but he's moving into Zofia's house. Because his mum and Zofia's dad are in love … and they're having a baby. Tom and Zofia both wish the stupid baby had never happened. But then Tom's mum gets ill, and it begins to look horribly like their wish might come true …

Finnegan Quick is haunted by nightmares. They're so bad, he's terrified of going to sleep. Because Finn's dreams change the waking world too. He's already lost his mum, his dad, his dog, even his shadow. And now they're coming for his gran, the only family he's got left.

Then a mysterious girl starts appearing in his dreams, helping Finn fight back against the creatures in his nightly adventures. On the first day of the new term, she turns up at school, right there in real life, in the lunch queue!

Cass tells Finn that she has come to solve the mystery of Finn's missing parents. Together with Finn's geeky best friend Squid, they travel through the nightmare world, battling goblins, ghosts and zombies.
