Freja arrives in Singapore during the month of the hungry ghost, when old spirits are said to roam the streets and families must make offerings to appease their ancestors. She's homesick for her Danish hometown and isn't sure she fits in with the 'happy family' of her father, her... step-mother and twin step-brothers. As Freja tries to settle into her new life, a mysterious girl in a white dress starts to appear to her, seeming to beckon her on. Following this figure, Freja begins to unravel an old family mystery - one that must be solved before the month is over, to allow both girls to be freed from secrets long-buried.

Twelve-year-old Clara lives on an island that visitors call exotic - but there's nothing exotic about it to Clara. She loves eating ripe mangos off the ground, running outside in the rainy season, and going to her secret hideout with Gaynah, even though lately Gaynah hasn't been ...acting like a best friend. The only thing in Clara's life that's out of the ordinary is her memory: a hurricane hit last summer, and now she can't remember anything that happened that season. Sometimes things come back to her in drips like a tap that hasn't been turned off properly. Other times, her mother fills in the blanks. When Clara meets Rudy, newly arrived from England, her memories slowly start to return and the pair embark upon a summer neither will ever forget.

Marit doesn't like to use magic too often; it always comes with a heavy price. When her best friend Eve is adopted by a legendary former dancer and placed in an elite ballet program outside of Copenhagen, Marit draws upon her powers to secure a job with the wealthy family so that... she can watch over her. But Marit has another, secret motivation: her father died while working for the dancer's family, and she has reason to believe he was murdered.
