Plot Summary: | | |
A primary protagonist(s) is often situated in a remote location or somehow isolated from typical societal conventions. These range from a comfortable suburban area to boarding schools, foreign villages, campsites, unfamiliar relatives' homes or even oversea areas. The books in the series usually feature semi-homogenous plot structures with normal kids being, frequently indirectly, involved in scary situations; chapters end in cliffhangers, and after the central conflict has either been or appears to have been resolved, there is often a twist ending. |
