Mystery of the Attic
Melissa is just an average thirteen-year-old with a semi-average life until she moves into a nineteenth-century farmhouse. With the help of her stepsister, they unravel an age-old mystery and solve an unsolvable crime; one that was never in tended to be solved. Many evil hauntings attempt to prevent the girls from discovering the truth. Its a race against time and a battle of wits to see which will prevail - the living or the dead.

Wound Too Tight
Each boy keeps some treasure for himself, but a nerve racking inscription on the inside of an enchanted watch warns of danger to those who touch the pirate's treasure. One by one the boys begin to disappear. It's up to Shawn to discover the secret of the watch, save the lives of his friends and put an end to the wickedness unleashed on his home town - before time runs out!

Four Little Witches
Friends forever in work or play, four tiny elemental witches—Fiona, Gale, Marrie, and Blaze—help the Earth thrive using their own special powers for nurturing the planet. But when disaster strikes, they must come together to protect the Earth, helping to heal its hurts and to keep it alive. The child in all of us can enjoy this playful way to learn about the elements—earth, air, water, and fire—and how they help us, for without the elements, we would not exist. For ages 0-6.

Fantasies Are Murder
Kim and Kelly go on a weekend trip with their families to a resort that specializes in staging a murder mystery for the guests. Its all fun and games until they discover a real murder has actually taken place on the grounds. The closer they get to revealing the murder the closer they get to becoming the next victims. With only three days to solve the murder, the girls play a deadly game of cat and mouse - but who will get the cheese?
