When 12-year-old Lila’s estranged Grandpa Clem dies, she has to spend the summer in Ohio while her parents decide what to do with Grandpa Clem’s creepy Victorian Inn. Even worse, strange things keep happening. En route to Ohio, the family gets into a scary car accident. No one’s hurt, but the remainder of the trip is ... odd. At every rest stop, Lila sees people in weird old-fashioned clothes. People no-one else can see or hear ... Lila convinces herself it’s just her overactive imagination until the day of the funeral when she spots an old man. She does a double take—it’s him, Grandpa Clem. He tells Lila that he didn’t die of a heart attack: he was murdered. Possibly by someone who wants to control the inn. Because it’s not a normal bed & breakfast: it’s a portal between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. A hotel for ghosts passing onto the afterlife.

“Ko Humble Bumble ahau. I am the Humble Bumble. No one is as humble as me.”

So announces the not-so-humble bumblebee, who proceeds to take credit for all her friends’ hard work in collecting pollen. But when she takes it a step too far, trying to claim a whole field of flowers for herself, the Queen Bee herself delivers a lesson in humility and Humble Bumble discovers ‘kotahitanga’ and the benefits of working together as a team.

Determined to welcome the dark back to town, Millie Fleur bakes delicious moon pies and plants a sweet-smelling moon garden. But before the night time creatures will return, Millie Fleur must convince the townspeople to be brave and turn out the lights.

But unlike neurodivergent, artistic, sock-collecting V, Jojo is uptight, critical, and obsessed with her spotless house. She doesn't get V at all. V is sure she's doomed to have the worst summer ever. Then V starts hearing noises from inside the walls of the house... Knocks, the sounds of a girl crying, and voices echoing in the night. When V finds a ghostly girl hiding in the walls, they seem to have an immediate connection. This might be V's chance to get back at her perfect grandmother by messing with her just a little bit.

Her seams are stretched thin with her royal duties, her newfound family in Dream Town, and a desire to bring citizens from across the Hinterlands together. Then, when Sally and her new rag doll apprentice, Luna, fall through a mysterious portal, they find themselve in a new realm called Time Town.

Sally and Luna embark on a journey to unmask the truth, encountering more towns, friends, and foes along the way.

Soon Sally is surprised to learn that the Pumpkin King, Jack, is longing for a change of his own. Determined to find a solution for them both, Sally follows a vision that could be the key to changing their fates. But the more time Sally spends in the strange, jolly land of Christmas Town, the more suspicious she grows of the seemingly idyllic winter wonderland. What is lurking behind those dancing sugar plums? And what exactly does it mean to be put on the Naughty List? Will Sally be able to save the best of both towns—before it’s too late?
