Abandoned as a baby, Begonia, known as Bug, faces an urgent challenge at the haunted Swamp Root Manor, which is home to her quirky family of fifty-two "grandparents." As she awaits her own unique "Oddity" before her 11th birthday, the manor's financial troubles threaten her family’s existence. To prevent being sent to the normal world and losing her memories, Bug reluctantly teams up with an annoying boy. Together, they confront various obstacles, including ghosts and their insecurities, in a race against time to save their home.

A curse that turns her bones into glass.With the aid of a monster-obsessed neighbor and a twitchy-nosed furry friend, Addie must hunt down three ingredients to break the curse before the stroke of midnight when the jinx becomes permanent.Addie must break the curse before the hunter ruins the pageant and erases magic -- and her -- from the town.With the aid of a monster-obsessed neighbor and a twitchy-nosed furry friend, Addie must hunt down three ingredients to break the curse before the stroke of midnight when the jinx becomes permanent.Addie must break the curse before the hunter ruins the pageant and erases magic -- and her -- from the town.Maybe she can finally prove herself Goode enough.
