FINDERS KEEPERS
by Jeff Strand
Sourcebooks, April 2025

In the small town of Farlow, mysterious advertisements appear for a summer scavenger hunt. Twelve-year-old Maggie and her friends can’t wait. They have their team, and more than bragging rights, they want that huge cash prize.

On the big day, a strange man welcomes everybody to the game. The first items are ridiculously easy (« An egg? Seriously? »), but they quickly grow more difficult. When getting one of the items requires an actual crime―breaking into the school after dark―Maggie loses one of her teammates. But the others manage to steal Mr. Kramer’s favorite mug.

A bone from the cemetery seems like it’s as dark as the game can get, but when they’re asked to bring back a human head, nobody wants to play anymore. But it’s too late to quit…

Madeline has always been extremely close to her family, so she is shocked when her older brother gets engaged without including them (or even giving them a heads up!). Mads has never been the biggest fan of his fiancée, Katie, so in order to remain one happy family, she is determined to bond with Katie before the big day, which includes reluctantly agreeing to be a bridesmaid.

During a late-night bridesmaids-only game of « Truth or Dare » Mads is cornered into revealing she has never been kissed or even been on a date, which spurs the other girls to unite on a quest to find Mads the perfect plus-one for the wedding. Next thing she knows she’s navigating a series of disastrous dates that include some major misunderstandings and mishaps.

All of a sudden Mads finds her heart tugged in different directions: to Connor, the boy next door who knows her best. To Marco Álvarez, the former classmate who knows how to push all her buttons. And to some of the new suitors who surprisingly aren’t all bad.

As the wedding draws nearer, Mads has to figure out who she wants most as a forever dance partner, while also making sure her brother isn’t making the biggest mistake of his life.

Brooke works hard to maintain perfect grades, perfect looks, a perfect life–especially after “the incident” that threatened everything. Getting into her dream university puts her that much closer to a fresh start. How she can’t say no to her BFF’s coaxing to celebrate the good news…even if it means returning to the same beach that she’s avoided since the incident?

Except leaving the party at the end of the night is just the beginning. A truck tails them on the two-lane highway that winds through the woods. Then tailing becomes trying to push them off the road, becomes a terror-filled chase through the dark night and Brooke’s darkest fears…

Finally reunited with her family, Caly struggles to adjust to her new life and the decisions she made to get there.

But as she prepares, Caly finds herself haunted by the memory of Malum Mendax, the Unseelie Prince, always feeling eyes on her among the shadowy silhouettes in her room and even touching him in her dreams. What Caly doesn’t know is that it’s more than just his memory that haunts her. Malum Mendax has returned to punish his pet and those that took her away from him.
