In 2010, the then sixteen-year-old McKenzie teamed with producer Nick Hagen and her mother, actress Mercedes Rose, to record an episodic series of simple “girl and her haunted house” videos that has grown into a network full of stories of ghosts, demons, zombies, creepiness galore, and a whole lot of Sunshine!

Spring Break is upon us, and we are embarking on an adventure. We will be slaying beasts in the fantastical world of novelist Laini Taylor (that have surprising real world parallels), exploring the haunted house of YouTube superstar Sunshine Girl, traveling to SXSW to discover infectious new bands, and trekking to the grand opening of the Portland Japanese Garden.The Portland Japanese Garden Unveils World-Class Expansion - 1:23The Portland Japanese Garden was already considered one of the best in the world, but now it stands to become a cultural institution on a whole other level. After undergoing more than seven years of planning and months of construction, the garden is opening its new expansion and Cultural Village on Apr. 2.The Eugene Ballet And Composer Kenji Bunch Find Beauty In The Snow Queen - 6:57On Apr. 8–9, the Eugene Ballet Company will premieres a work years in the making: a new adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Snow Queen," with a modern score by Portland-based composer Kenji Bunch. You might recognize the tale: it was the inspiration for Disney's "Frozen," and Bunch gives it a cinematic treatment.Slaying Demons (And Cliches) With Best-Selling YA Author Laini Taylor - 13:02Portland author Laini Taylor dreams the types of dreams that you want to get lost in — majestic desert journeys to forgotten cities, heroes with dark secrets, tender first kisses between godesses and men — and you're not alone. Her early collaboration with her husband, the illustrator Jim Di Bartolo, "Lips Touch," was a finalist for the National Book Award, and her "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" trilogy is an international best seller.This week, she released the first book in her newest series, "Strange the Dreamer," about an orphaned young librarian who also has big dreams. She'll talk about it with Sara Grundell of the YA website Novel Novice at Powell's at Cedar Hills Crossing on Apr. 6. Oregon's Biggest YouTube Sensation Is A Girl, Her Mom, And A Household of Ghosts - 23:04In 2010, Oregon actor Paige McKenzie anonymously released a series of videos on YouTube called "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl." They were DIY, Blair Witch-style episodes following a charismatic 16-year-old who wanted to prove the existence of ghosts to her mom. With no promotion whatsoever, the series blew up and now has had more than 280 million views, making Sunshine Girl one of the most successful YouTube stars in the country.Since then, McKenzie inked a deal with the Weinstein Company for three books and a TV show. The first two books have sold more than 200,000 copies, and the third, "The Sacrifice of Sunshine Girl," comes out Apr. 4. She will read and sign at Powell's at Cedar Hills Crossing on Apr. 5 and Voodoo Donuts Too on Apr. 13.Blitzen Trapper Spins Their Narrative Rock Into A Sci-Fi Rock Opera - 32:51Blitzen Trapper is one of the tightest rock bands in Portland, and now the members have partnered with Portland Center Stage to transform their story-rich songs into an evening length musical event. Called "Wild and Reckless," they’re billing it as a "futuristic vision of Portland's past.” As part of our What Are You Looking At series, we went to opening night and discovered a production overflowing with expert musicianship but coming up short on plot. opbmusic's SXSW Recap: Bands We Can't Get Out Of Our Heads & An Exclusive Session with Conor Oberst - 41:17The opbmusic staff saw some 150 bands in four-days at Austin's monster music festival, South by Southwest, and music director Jerad Walker stops by to share some of his favorites, including A Giant Dog, Jay Som, and Portland folkster Johanna Warren.In a lucky turn of events, they were able to sit down with indie royalty Conor Oberst from the folk band Bright Eyes. Oberst spoke with Jerad Walker about the process for his new album "Salutations" and his work with supergroup Monsters of Folk.

For the past two years, Portland's biggest literary festival has been on a bit of a hiatus. But next Saturday, another Portland nonprofit for word nerds is resurrecting Wordstock from the grave.On this episode of State of Wonder, we dip into the archives to revisit interviews with some of our favorite Wordstock authors, a surprising number of which are more than fitting for Halloween. Sunshine GirlIn 2010, a series of videos appeared on YouTube called "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl." They were DIY, Blair Witch-style episodes that followed a charismatic 16-year-old who wanted to prove the existence of ghosts to her mom. With over 180 million views, it became one of the most successful YouTube series in the Northwest. This year, the actor behind it all, Paige McKenzie, released a young adult book and inked a TV deal with the Weinstein Company. Benjamin PercyAuthor Benjamin Percy's writing has racked up a stack of awards — two Pushcart Prizes, an NEA fellowship. Percy has written for GQ, The Paris Review, Tin House and Esquire, where he's a contributing editor. He also has several TV and movie projects in development.Percy's most recent novel, "The Dead Lands" is set in a post-apocalyptic St. Louis where water is rapidly disappearing. A bookish scholar named Lewis Meriwether and a free-spirited alcoholic soldier named Mina Clark form an uneasy partnership to lead a small group west toward Oregon, searching for a new home.Sound familiar?Lidia YuknavitchLidia Yuknavitch found a wide audience with her 2011 memoir, "The Chronology of Water." It's an inventive and harrowing account of her youth, her parent's abuses, her career as a champion swimmer, and her later drug abuse and recovery.Her newest book, “The Small Backs of Children,” imagines a young girl whose life was destroyed by a Balkan war. A photographer snaps an award-winning photo of the girl at the pinnacle of tragedy, and the rest of the story explores lives spiraling outward in the grip of grief and guilt.Carson EllisIf you don’t recognize Carson Ellis’s name, chances are you do know her detailed, fanciful drawings of Victorian soldiers, talking badgers, and storybook towns. You see them on the album covers and posters of the iconic local band The Decemberists, and they lace through the best-selling young adult fantasy series, "Wildwood."In February, she wrote and illustrated her first children’s book, "Home," which is exactly where we visited her for this story. Now, Ellis is wrapping up a new book, and she and her husband, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, are about to get to work on another illustrated novel.Zach DundasZach Dundas is a longtime Portland journalist and co-editor of "Portland Monthly."He also happens to be a lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan. In his book “The Great Detective: The Amazing Rise and Immortal Life of Sherlock Holmes,” he set out to ask: what is it about this brainy, unlikely hero that continues to capture our imagination?

In 2010, a series of videos started appearing on YouTube called "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl."

With no promotion whatsoever, the first few episodes quickly wracked up five million views. The series now has had more than 140 million views, making Sunshine Girl one of the most successful YouTube stars in the Northwest.And all this has been accomplished by a mother-daughter duo and a producer friend with a flip cam. Now the actor behind sunshine girl, Paige McKenzie, has a YA book out and a TV deal with the Weinstein company. She'll read from "The Haunting of Sunshine Girl" on Saturday, May 9 at 4 p.m. at Jacobsen's Books in Hillsboro. McKenzie inhabits a virtual world of contradictions only possible in our digital age. She is on one hand wholly authentic and unfiltered, and yet her very nature is utterly calculated. She is intimately accessible, broadcasting from her bedroom and talking with fans via social media, and yet she's incredibly cloistered. Nobody except her blood relatives even have her cell number. In a way, she's a ghost in the machine, tethered to her flipcam and haunting her Youtube network.Aaron Scott has the story.
