About the Book - Murdle Jr.: Sleuths on the Loose

It’s a cloudy day on the Sacred Kidney playground, but Jake likes it that way – dark, uncertain. The kinda day that’s perfect for taking down bad guys, and today, she’s facing down the biggest bully of them all: Brick. But just when it’s all about to go down, there’s a scream from inside the library.

The kids rush in – they know that was Miss Saffron’s voice, but she’s nowhere to be found, and the adults aren’t saying anything. It’s up to Jake, her sidekick Sterling, and Brick the bully to solve the mystery. Can this unlikely trio crack the case?

About the Book - Hypergifted

School has never been a problem for twelve-year-old super-genius Noah Youkilis—at least not until he gets an admission letter to the prestigious Wilderton University. The last thing Noah wants is to go straight from eighth grade into college. Will his life ever just be normal?! And when Wilderton allows Noah to bring a friend for the summer term, Donovan’s (stuck) along for the ride. 

Once they arrive on campus, Noah’s determined to fit in—and to him, that means joining the top-secret Society of the Gavel. But becoming a Gaveler is harder than it seems, and it’s made all the harder when Noah and Donovon smuggle Wilderton’s mascot, a two-hundred-pound pig named Porquette, into their dorm. Now Noah and Donovan must combine all their middle-school smarts to keep their pig-sized secret, fix a haywire AI program before it pretty much ends the world, and keep track of Donovan’s campers.
