"So, George, are you coming to Rockapazooma with me, or what?" "How could I miss a chance to see my fave band, Lethal Injection, live? Even Bess wants in. But we're only going on one condition: If a case crops up, you'll leave it to one of the security guards. Just this once, Nancy? So we can actually listen to the music?" "Where's the mystery in that?" One rock concert. One big crime. Three of the best teen detectives of all time. Terror On Tour

"Wow, Joe, I can't believe there are actually people out there who would mess around with all these awesome ancient ruins." "Yeah, but Frank, it's because of them that ATAC sent us here to Rome, and nothing beats this Italian food!" "Nancy, I can't believe it. When Aunt Estelle invited you to come on this trip to Italy with Bess and me, I figured it would give you a break from mysteries, and you've still managed to find one!" "I know, George, but isn't it strange to find an American girl in the middle of Rome with no memory of how she got here?" "Something tells me you'll get to the bottom of it all soon...." One foreign city. One big crime. Three of the best teen detectives of all time.

A new standalone middle-grade novel from Gordon Korman, set (partly) in Canada! Keenan is bored. He is recovering from tuberculosis, acquired while overseas with his mom. Now he's stuck sitting in a lawn chair at his dad's place on Centerlight, Michigan, an island of about 7000 residents in the St. Clair River which is divided in two by the Canada-US border. When Keenan meets a girl his age, ZeeBee, who lives on the Canadian side of the border, his life becomes anything but boring. ZeeBee is full of conspiracy theories. Paramount among her theories is that notorious gangster Tommy-Gun Ferguson (original owner of the house she now lives in) buried millions in treasure on the island during the Prohibition era. She' also convinced her recently deceased dog Barney was murdered - apparently he was a notorious terror and not a favourite among the locals. Keenan isn't convinced by either of these theories, but soon some clues turn up that even he can't ignore. Will the pair of them find the treasure and solve the mystery of what happened to Barney . . . or will the dog-murdering criminals find them first? Told in Gordon's now classic multi-voice style, his new novel combines mystery, comedy, and a story of new friendships.

The New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation makes her middle grade debut with a sweeping tale of the ghosts of our past that won't stay buried, starring an unforgettable girl named Ophie. Ophelia Harrison used to live in a small house in the Georgia countryside. But that was before the night in November 1922, and the cruel act that took her home and her father from her. Which was the same night that Ophie learned she can see ghosts. Now Ophie and her mother are living in Pittsburgh with relatives they barely know. In the hopes of earning enough money to get their own place, Mama has gotten Ophie a job as a maid in the same old manor house where she works. Daffodil Manor, like the wealthy Caruthers family who owns it, is haunted by memories and prejudices of the past--and, as Ophie discovers, ghosts as well. Ghosts who have their own loves and hatreds and desires, ghosts who have wronged others and ghosts who have themselves been wronged. And as Ophie forms a friendship with one spirit whose life ended suddenly and unjustly, she wonders if she might be able to help--even as she comes to realize that Daffodil Manor may hold more secrets than she bargained for.

From New York Times bestseller Spencer Quinn comes book 2 in the laugh-out-loud series about the most epic rivalry of our time . . . Arthur the dog vs. Queenie the cat. Queenie the cat has a BIG problem. And for once, it's not the slobbery, overly excited creature who also lives at Blackberry Hill Inn. Sweet Lady Emsworth, the neighbor's prize cow, has disappeared, meaning no morning cream for Queenie. And when Queenie's not happy, NO ONE is happy . . . Things aren't looking great for Arthur the dog, either. His beloved humans, twins Harmony and Bro, are distressed about the strange activity in their town. Mysterious hi-tech people are suddenly very interested in nearby Catastrophe Falls, bills are piling up at their mom's inn . . . and now the twins might be hiding a fugitive?! Arthur is desperate to help but for some reason, no one seems to think he's up to the task. (Could that be because he can't remember what happened more than 10 seconds ago? Surely not!) Can Arthur save the day -- and become a hero in Queenie's eyes -- without making a disastrous splash?
