13 HANGMEN“Some people won’t believe any of this story. You might be one of them. But every single word is true. Tony DiMarco does catch a murderer, solve a mystery, and find a treasure—all in the first few days after he moves, unexpectedly, to 13 Hangmen’s Court in Boston. The fact that he also turns thirteen at the same time is not a coincidence.” So begins the story of Tony and his friends—five 13-year-old boys, all of whom are living in the same house in the same attic bedroom but at different times in history! None are ghosts. All are flesh and blood. And all have suddenly come together in the eaves of this historic town house because they are linked by a murder, a mystery, and a treasure. Advance praise for 13 Hangmen: “A splendid crackerjack of a mystery that celebrates stories and the hidden connections between place and history. You'll never look at your bedroom the same way again.” —Matt Phelan, author & illustrator, winner of the 2010 Scott O'Dell Award "This is a slugfest of a mystery for YA readers where baseball meets murder and the base paths are covered with intrigue, pathos and laughs. Pass me the peanuts and Crackerjacks, Art Corriveau sure can write!" —Alan Lawrence Sitomer, bestselling author and California Teacher of the Year 2007 |
