SLAY SQUAD MYSTERIES | THE HAUNTED TREEHOUSE

Fiction (0-12) Children   •   20 Nov 2025

-- Full Disclosure: Experimenting with AI has been a really interesting learning curve.

When a frisbee flies wildly into the woods behind Rathbone Academy, the Slay Squad, Emily, Ruth, Anna, Talulah and their new recruit Isla, stumble onto a hidden, crumbling treehouse that looks like it’s been forgotten for years.

As they follow a trail of riddles, symbols, and secret maps, the girls realise this isn’t just a spooky discovery, it’s a scavenger hunt left behind by someone with a story to tell but when a shadowy figure starts stalking their search, the mystery turns urgent.

Because the treasure isn’t gold.. it’s the truth. And it’s been waiting for the right kind of people to believe in it.
