The Lily Dale series is a young adult paranormal series set in the real-life Spiritualist community of Lily Dale, New York, where registered mediums live and offer readings. Wendy Corsi Staub uses this unusual setting for a series of novels about a teenager who arrives in Lily Dale and begins experiencing psychic phenomena.
The six books, from Awakening (2007) to Nine Lives (2015), blend supernatural elements with the typical concerns of YA fiction – identity, friendship, family. The real Lily Dale provides an atmospheric and genuinely unusual backdrop, and Staub draws on actual details of the community to give the books an authentic feel. The series also connects to the adult Lily Dale Mystery series.
