Fans of classic detective stories, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and the Secret Series will devour this illustrated middle-grade adventure that follows three curious sleuths as they investigate a mysterious, old house with some hidden secrets. Eleven-year-old Fairday Morrow is less than thrilled that her family is moving thousands of miles from civilization to the quiet country town of Ashpot, Connecticut, where she’s absolutely certain she’ll die of boredom. As if leaving New York City and her best friend, Lizzy, the only other member of the elite Detective Mystery Squad (DMS), weren’t bad enough, Fairday is stuck living in the infamous Begonia House, a creepy old Victorian with dark passageways, a gigantic dead willow tree, and a mysterious past. Before she can even unpack, strange music coming from behind a padlocked door leads Fairday up a spiral staircase and into a secret room, where an ancient mirror, a brass key, and a strange picture of a red-haired lady are the first in a series of clues that takes the members of the Detective Mystery Squad on an amazing adventure. "The novel builds to an exciting climax that takes magic in stride and suggests that further mysteries await the DMS trio."-Publishers Weekly "This paranormal mystery will be of interest to young readers looking for something spooky but not violent or scary."-Booklist

Book Description
“An unforgettable nonfiction thriller, expertly reported….A tremendously revealing and twisted ride, where life and death are now mere cold cash commodities.” —Michael Largo, author of Final Exits Award-winning investigative journalist and contributing Wired editor Scott Carney leads readers on a breathtaking journey through the macabre underworld of the global body bazaar, where organs, bones, and even live people are bought and sold on The Red Market.

Book Description
God of the Splitsecond relates to events that are more than mere coincidences. The book of short stories starts with "Emma on the Road" as the first event the author remembers as a child seeing God in action. The other event is "Babushka in the Field" which happened 50 years and 5 seconds later, from which she coined the title of this book. The most dramatic is the "Berlin Exodus through the Red Sea", where over a thousand Mennonites escaped in a freight train unnoticed by the Soviets to get to Paraguay. The book covers the period from World War II to the present. It includes many other "God of the Splitsecond" events in the lives of Corrie ten Boom, Livingstone, Squanto, Dayuma of the Aucas, Schaeffer's L'Abri, and others. It encourages the readers to see the hand of Providence in their own lives. The original version of this book was written for the grandchildren of the author's family, for whom she made some 300 drawings to illustrate each story. Trudy Morrow, M.A., was born in 1933 in a 200-year old German colony in Eastern Europe. In the upheaval of 1940, Hitler had multitudes of ethnic people removed from their homeland and resettled in Poland and the so-called "Reich". She remembers wartime experiences and life as refugees in West Germany, but values the blessings of her American home in New England for over 40 years. The author has a Masters degree in social psychology from the University of New Haven, worked as secretary, administrator, educator, and medical translator for many years. She is the widow of an Anglican pastor and was involved in Christian education, art, and philosophy. She developed the Otaspeed-Writing SystemTM (www.otaspeedwriting.com) and is the founder of Otawit Institute TM, Apologetics for Teens (www.otawit.com).

Book Description
A young spy on a mission for Allied forces during World War II must stop a high-tech weapon of mass destruction. 1943. Sleeper spy Will Starling has been drafted in to the SOE, joining forces with the French Resistance in the fight against the Nazis; but Will’s memory is fractured and only occasional flashbacks reveal fragments of his past. Despite this, he has not forgotten his pledge to find and rescue his sister, Rose—if she is still alive. When his mission in France is compromised, Will suspects he’s been betrayed. Back in London he hears that VIPER are in league with the Axis powers and are developing a new and deadly weapon. As he and MI5 agent Anna Wilder set out to destroy it, their every move is anticipated by their enemies. Who is the mole in the British Secret Service? As they close in on VIPER’s Swiss headquarters, it seems no one can be trusted. Are Will and Anna able to prevent the unleashing of the Red Storm that will bring mass destruction on a scale even the Nazis haven't dreamt of? While Will tries to save the world, Rose has become the key to VIPER's future plans and is drugged to dull her kinetic powers. But Rose faces danger from an unexpected enemy and her time is running out. “J.D. Fennell can write up a storm.”—James Patterson, New York Times–bestselling author of 3 Days To Live
