Aggie Morton lives in a small town on the coast of England in 1902. Adventurous and imaginative but deeply shy, Aggie hasn't got much to do since the death of her beloved father . . . until the fateful day when she crosses paths with twelve-year-old Belgian immigrant Hector Perot and discovers a dead body on the floor of the Mermaid Dance Room! As the number of suspects grows and the murder threatens to tear the town apart, Aggie and her new friend will need every tool at their disposal -- including their insatiable curiosity, deductive skills and not a little help from their friends -- to solve the case before Aggie's beloved dance instructor is charged with a crime Aggie is sure she didn't commit.
Filled with mystery, adventure, an unforgettable heroine and several helpings of tea and sweets, The Body Under the Piano is the clever debut of a new series for middle-grade readers and Christie and Poirot fans everywhere, from a Governor General's Award--nominated author of historical fiction for children.

For fans of Enola Holmes.
Aspiring writer Aggie Morton is looking forward to Christmas. Having just solved a murder and survived her own brush with death in her small town of Torquay on the coast of England, Aggie can't wait to spend the holidays with her sister Marjorie, the new Lady Greyson of Owl Park, an enormous manor house in the country; Grannie Jane and her fellow sleuth and partner in crime, Hector Perot. Owl Park holds many delights including Aggie's almost cousin Lucy, exciting and glamorous visitors from Ceylon and disguises aplenty in the form of a group of travelling actors, not to mention a secret passageway AND an enormous, cursed emerald. Not even glowering old Lady Greyson (the Senior) can interfere with Aggie's festive cheer. But when Aggie and her friends discover a body instead of presents on Christmas morning, things take a deadly serious turn. With the help of a certain nosy reporter, Aggie and Hector will once again have to put their deductive skills and imaginations to work to find the murderer on the loose.
Filled with mystery, adventure, unforgettable characters and several helpings of tea and Christmas pudding, Peril at Owl Park is the second book in a new series for middle-grade readers and Christie and Poirot fans everywhere.

It's Easter! The eggs are decorated, the baskets are ready, and Mr. Twist's Easter pants are looking fly, which means one thing: it's time for the annual Twist Easter Egg Hunt, Ada's favorite family tradition. And this year, her parents are letting Ada hide the eggs! But Arthur, her big brother, thinks the egg hunt is going to be too easy now that he's eleven-so Ada has to do a test hiding to make sure it's super hard or else Arthur will retire from the egg hunt forever! Soon Ada, Rosie, and Iggy are brainstorming about how to find the hardest hiding spot in the history of egg-hiding. This sweet and funny story is all about learning from your mistakes and accepting that sometimes you might fail.
Ada, Iggy, and Rosie are ready for the most super sleepover ever. They've got their sleeping bags, pajamas, a moon nightlight, and a dino-snore machine (well, that last one may not be perfect for the sleeping part of the sleepover!). This will be Iggy's first sleepover at his house, so his dad helps brainstorm ideas for what to do at the sleepover. They can play games like ping-pong, eat yummy popcorn, and even tell spooky stories! They want to start with a game of ping-pong, but the ping-pong table is in the basement—and Iggy warns them that the basement is haunted...or at least he thinks it is. But he's never actually gone down there because it's too spooky. It's up to the Questioneers to get to the bottom of if the basement is actually haunted by ghosts by using the scientific method, their bravery, and a whole lot of teamwork.
