Another sequel to Night of the Paranormal Patterns about teenager Lennie Miller who solves middle-school mathematical problems for vampires, wizards, and other monsters. This time, she not only has to save the town from supernatural threats, but also has to protect her monster friends from a crew of TV ghost hunters.

I haven't read this young adult novel, which site contributor Vijay Fafat was kind enough to suggest I add to the database. I hope to get a chance to read this series someday and will post more information here if I do. Or, if you have read it, please write to let me know what you thought of it, and I'll post your review here!

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
