Blackout
by Stuart Gibbs
In the thirteenth book in the Spy School series, superspy middle schooler Ben Ripley goes off the grid to eliminate a cybersecurity threat. After a devious computer hacker pulls off the CIA's worst-case scenario, shutting down power networks all over the world, Ben and his fellow spies-in-training are forced to make a harrowing emergency landing of their plane in Indonesia. While chaos begins to erupt around the planet, Ben deduces that his team is closer to the mysterious hacker's base than anyone else. But with all computers and phones down, there's no way to communicate with anyone at the CIA. On their latest mission to save the world, Ben and his friends face a conniving villain, assassins, pirates, sharks, and very big lizards in the most remote--and deadly--location of any spy school yet!

The Last Resort
by Erin Entrada Kelly
Twelve-year-old Lila has two goals for the summer: Win back the friends who ditched her for being "too dramatic" and top being so dramatic. But then Lila's estranged Grandpa Clem dies, throwing a wrench in her plans. Now she'll have 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. Lila convinces herself it's just her overactive imagination until the day of the funeral when she spots an old man sitting in her grandfather's favorite chair. 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. With the help of her skeptical brother, Caleb, and their new ghost-obsessed neighbor, Teddy, Lila must uncover her grandfather's killer AND stop the evil spirits desperate to make their way back into the human world.
