Ada, Iggy, and Rosie are ready for the most super sleepover ever. They've got their sleeping bags, pajamas, a moon nightlight, and a dino-snore machine (well, that last one may not be perfect for the sleeping part of the sleepover!). This will be Iggy's first sleepover at his house, so his dad helps brainstorm ideas for what to do at the sleepover. They can play games like ping-pong, eat yummy popcorn, and even tell spooky stories! They want to start with a game of ping-pong, but the ping-pong table is in the basement—and Iggy warns them that the basement is haunted...or at least he thinks it is. But he's never actually gone down there because it's too spooky. It's up to the Questioneers to get to the bottom of if the basement is actually haunted by ghosts by using the scientific method, their bravery, and a whole lot of teamwork.
It's Easter! The eggs are decorated, the baskets are ready, and Mr. Twist's Easter pants are looking fly, which means one thing: it's time for the annual Twist Easter Egg Hunt, Ada's favorite family tradition. And this year, her parents are letting Ada hide the eggs! But Arthur, her big brother, thinks the egg hunt is going to be too easy now that he's eleven-so Ada has to do a test hiding to make sure it's super hard or else Arthur will retire from the egg hunt forever! Soon Ada, Rosie, and Iggy are brainstorming about how to find the hardest hiding spot in the history of egg-hiding. This sweet and funny story is all about learning from your mistakes and accepting that sometimes you might fail.
