Children's Fiction13 Hangmen
(Middle-grade novel) “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. How I, Nicky Flynn, Finally Get a Life (and a Dog) (Middle-grade novel) Nicky Flynn’s life just got a whole lot harder. Not only have Nicky’s parents just gone through a messy divorce—forcing him to start a new life, in a new city, in a new school—but now his mom has totally gone behind his back and brought home Reggie, an eighty-pound German shepherd, from the animal shelter. Turns out, Reggie is far from an ordinary pound mutt: he’s a former seeing-eye dog. Trouble is, nobody’s ever told Reggie he’s retired… Nicky isn’t so sure about being dragged around the neighborhood as if he were Reggie’s new blind master. (Oh great, yet another situation he has no control over!) But then things start to get complicated, and Nicky soon discovers that Reggie may be the only one he can rely on. Especially when Nicky tries to reconnect with his dad. He puts everything on the line—including the life of his new best friend.
