It should have been just another quiet night on the farm when Logan witnessed the attack, but it wasn't. Something is in the woods. Something unexplainable. Something deadly. Hundreds of miles away, Chrystal's plans for summer in Manhattan are abruptly upended when her dad reads tabloid coverage of some kind of grisly incident in Oklahoma. When they arrive to investigate, they find a witness: a surprisingly good-looking farm boy. As townsfolk start disappearing and the attacks get ever closer, Logan and Chrystal will have to find out the truth about whatever's hiding in the woods...before they become targets themselves.

Shim and Shay don't like staying home alone while Mom and Dad go to work in the castle. Then one day a gnome tells the children how the fairies gave him a bag of gold. The children set off to ask for a bag of gold of their own so Mom and Dad won't have to work. But there are dangers they never could have imagined waiting in the wide world outside their village, including a monster in the forest.
