She misses her boyfriend and sneaking out at night to make urban exploration videos for her growing YouTube channel. Zach, the boy who lives next door, tries to befriend Kate even though she ignores him. But when Kate discovers her estranged grandfather lives nearby, she wants to meet him despite the small-town rumors of his violent past and takes Zach with her. That's when they find the crevasse on her grandfather's property and the skeletons hidden inside. That's the day they find out Kate's uncle and his friend went missing as teenagers. Instead of counting down the days until she can leave Hicksville, Kate and Zach start working together to solve the cold case that has silenced her mother for thirty-five years"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://brighton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4839714</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brighton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C4839714</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kilbourne, Christina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brighton.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4839714192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770867154/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[40 Days in Hicksville]]></title><description><![CDATA[Winner of the 2025 Forest of Reading Red Maple Award
"[40 Days in Hicksville] is worth a read, and is a great example of the power of a well-written dual-perspective narrative." — Canadian Review of Materials
Every small town has a dark past. Kate is learning that this town's dark past involves her family.
Fifteen-year-old Kate didn't want to be dragged into her mother's past. She had a boyfriend, a life, and a future as an online influencer whose urban exploration videos were growing in popularity.But here she is, in the place she thinks of as "Hicksville," and she's getting to know far more about the town than she ever wanted. After she and her new friend Zach make a ghastly discovery in a local crevasse, she finds herself investigating a decades-old mystery that has haunted the community ... and her family. People from her mother's past — and her own — resurface as Kate and Zach uncover secrets that could rewrite history.]]></description><link>https://brighton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10183934</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brighton.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10183934</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kilbourne, Christina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://brighton.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/10183934980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770867161/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Safe Harbour]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fourteen-year-old Harbour is living in a tent in a Toronto ravine with her dog, a two-month supply of canned tuna, and an eccentric reading list.
