The heart-warming conclusion to the beloved Mo & Dale Mysteries by Newbery Honor author Sheila Turnage featuring the most shocking case yet!
Pirate fever sweeps through the town after an opportunistic treasure hunter shows up looking to lay claim to Blackbeard's lost gold buried somewhere in Tupelo Landing. When the (probably) world-famous Desperado Detectives--Mo and Dale and Harm--are hired by Mayor Little's mother to find the pirate loot for her, and the high-stakes race for riches is on!
But that's not the only treasure hunt in town. Mo LoBeau unearths shocking new clues that may lead to her long-lost Upstream Mother--in the riskiest, scariest, and possibly richest case of her life.
Will Mo find her Upstream Mother? Can the Desperados sidestep Blackbeard's curse and outsmart a professional treasure hunter? Will Dale faint under the pressure of Valentine's Day?
Could the stakes be any higher? Yes. With twin treasures hanging in the balance, Mo, Dale, and Harm realize one of them may have to leave Tupelo Landing. For good.
Listeners can come to this new Mo & Dale Mystery right after Three Times Lucky if they like.

Celebrate the freedom to read with this timely, empowering middle-grade debut in the spirit of The View from Saturday or Frindle.
When twelve-year-old June Harper's parents discover what they deem an inappropriate library book, they take strict parenting to a whole new level. And everything June loves about Dogwood Middle School unravels: librarian Ms. Bradshaw is suspended, an author appearance is canceled, the library is gutted, and all books on the premises must have administrative approval.
But June can't give up books . . . and she realizes she doesn't have to when she spies a Little Free Library on her walk to school. As the rules become stricter at school and at home, June keeps turning the pages of the banned books that continue to appear in the little library. It's a delicious secret . . . and one she can't keep to herself. June starts a banned book library of her own in an abandoned locker at school. The risks grow alongside her library's popularity, and a movement begins at Dogwood Middle--a movement that, if exposed, could destroy her. But if it's powerful enough, maybe it can save Ms. Bradshaw and all that she represents: the freedom to read.
Equal parts fun and empowering, this novel explores censorship, freedom of speech, and activism. For any kid who doesn't believe one person can effect change...and for all the kids who already know they can!

Fantasiereisen nehmen Kinder mit in Traumwelten, in denen sie sich wohl und geborgen fühlen und in die sie sich ganz und gar hineinfallen lassen können. Das sorgt für eine tiefe Entspannung und für Ausgeglichenheit im Alltag.
Mit den Fantasiereisen:
1. Wie ein kleiner Däumling
2. Der Zauberteppich
3. Die Schildkröte Karla
4. In der Hängematte
5. Wie ein Feuer in dir
6. Zauberhafte Unterwasserreise
7. Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt
8. Bei den Wolkenschäfchen
Wie sind Fantasiereisen richtig durchzuführen?
1. Schaffen Sie eine wohlige Atmosphäre. Dämmen Sie beispielsweise das Licht und legen Sie Kissen oder eine Decke zurecht, in die sich das Kind einkuscheln kann.
2. Geben Sie Ihrem Kind Zeit, sich bequem hinzulegen. Nichts sollte drücken oder kneifen.
3. Vermeiden Sie Störungen.
4. Wichtig: Wenn Sie die Fantasiereisen nicht als Einschlafhilfe verwenden wollen, fordern Sie ihr Kind nach jeder Traumreise auf, sich zu recken und zu strecken und tief ein- und auszuatmen. Auf diese Weise wird der Kreislauf in Gang gebracht und das Kind fühlt sich wieder fit und wach.
5. Sprechen Sie im Anschluss einer Fantasiereise mit Ihrem Kind. Meist ist der Redebedarf groß und das Kind möchte gerne mitteilen, was es für Eindrücke bei seiner Reise ins Land der Fantasie gewonnen hat.
