Nicholas is a math and music genius with no friends and a huge problem: His father has lost his job, and they’ll have to sell their house, which holds the only memory Nicholas has of his younger brother. Kyle and the other kids must solve every clue and figure out every secret puzzle to find the hidden escape route! If You Find This by Matthew Baker Because when morning comes, the doors stay locked. When Kyle learns that the world’s most famous game maker, Luigi Lemoncello, has designed the town’s new library and is having an invitation-only lock-in on opening night, he’s determined to be there! But the tricky part isn’t getting into the library-it’s getting out. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein When this special family heirloom vanishes from a local church, strange clues surface: a tea kettle ornamented with a familiar pointy-faced dragon, a threatening note, a connection to a famous dead musician, and even a legendary curse. Her particular instrument was a gift from her grandmother-intricately carved with a mysterious-looking dragon. So when a lawman comes to town asking about a murder, Mo and her best friend, Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, set out to uncover the truth in hopes of saving the only family Mo has ever known.Įleven-year-old Neela dreams of being a famous musician, performing for admiring crowds on her traditional Indian stringed instrument. She will protect those she loves with every bit of her strong will and tough attitude. Although Mo hopes someday to find her “upstream mother,” she’s found a home with the Colonel-a café owner with a forgotten past of his own-and Miss Lana, the fabulous café hostess. She washed ashore in a hurricane eleven years ago, and she’s been making waves ever since. Rising sixth grader Miss Moses LoBeau lives in the small town of Tupelo Landing, North Carolina, where everyone’s business is fair game and no secret is sacred. If that is the case, then Miranda has a big problem-because the notes tell her that someone is going to die, and she might be too late to stop it. It would be easy to ignore the strange messages, except that whoever is leaving them has an uncanny ability to predict the future. The notes tell her that she must write a letter-a true story, and that she can’t share her mission with anyone. Shortly after a fall-out with her best friend, sixth grader Miranda starts receiving mysterious notes, and she doesn’t know what to do.
