Imagined dangers become very real as a quest for intrigue leads to a disturbing discovery. . . . Fifteen-year-old Constantine Rea is bored with life in Vienna Austria, since it seems nothing that exciting ever happens there. But then an acquaintance tells Con that the old city has always been a center of international espionage. In fact, one out of ten adults living in Vienna is a spy! Con knows at least ten adults . . . but could one be a spy? Con and his best friend, Hannah, devise a plan to unmask the identity of the spy in their midst, but their plan is put on hold when Con and his mother make a trip to visit their old landlord, Herr Donner. While there, Con receives a curious gold object called a mezuzah, a symbol of Jewish faith. Then Donner has a chance to rethink the gift, and he angrily demands its return-but Con refuses. What is so important about the mezuzah, and why did Donner have it in the first place?

The sabotage runs far deeper than they expected. . . . Leaving behind Vienna, Austria, for the wilds of Wyoming, Constantine Rea is looking forward to spending summer vacation with his grandparents and six girl cousins on the sprawling family ranch. But he arrives to find all is not well. Grandpa Walker has fallen ill, and his recovery is hindered by troubles at the ranch: cut fences, poisoned cattle, trumped-up charges of environmental abuse, and more. Facing financial ruin, the Walkers may lose the ranch, which has been in their family for generations. Could this be Con's last summer in Wyoming? Con and his cousins devise a scheme to find the cause of all the problems, but the long list of suspects includes a radical environmental group called Mother Earth, some local Native Americans, a neighbor who has always been jealous of the Walker's success-and a wealthy movie star who is poised to swoop in and "take the ranch off their hands." Can the cousins expose the truth before it's too late?

The Sagebrush Rebellion

It's a deadly game . . . and every move could be their last! As Constantine Rea and his best friend, Hannah, sit across a chessboard from each other, a rickety train takes them from their Vienna home to a dream ski vacation in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. There, the sixteen-year-olds will be staying in style with Hannah's uncle-the American ambassador! But Con's VIP visions melt away when he opens a letter from his elderly friend Frau Maria Rozstoski describing a violent mystery from her Romanian youth and asking a rare favor: Could Con look into it on his vacation? This seemingly simple request leads Con and Hannah straight into the dark corners of Romania's anti-Jewish past, from a terrifying neo-Nazi rally to World War II secrets of the brutal Iron Guard. The closer they get to the truth, the greater the risk. And why does their search keep coming back to an orphan named Poppy?

Action & Adventure

The pandemic is over. Life could not be better. But when Uncle Woodrow told Fletcher McKenzie the story of Mollyockett, he unfortunately overlooked the powerful Curse of Snow Falls ― a curse that Fletcher now has to deal with.\nMollyockett was a Native American doctress who roamed Maine during colonial times. She is now the keeper of a spectacular world called Whole and protector of the McKenzie family. In the eighteenth century, Mollyockett took steps to protect the world of Whole, while her evil brother, Tomhegan, created havoc in his bid to kill as many settlers as he could.\nJust as Maine recovered from the pandemic, a series of bizarre and violent events took place, including the disappearance and presumed deaths of several innocent people. Fletcher and Uncle Woodrow are shocked when they put together the pieces of the puzzle and determine that these horrific events had been caused by Tomhegan and his evil associates as part of their effort to eliminate the entire McKenzie family and take control of the secret passage to the world called Whole.\nTomhegan and his co-conspirators transformed the innocent victims who disappeared after the pandemic into violent moose-like warriors. They become a savage army of Slaughter Makers, ready for an attack on Whole. Fletcher and Mollyockett bring in others to help and there is a mighty confrontation between the two sides.\n"Fletcher McKenzie and the Curse of Snow Falls" was written with the help of students in the Author Studies Program at the Farwell Elementary School (Lewiston, Maine). They added the element of a world-wide pandemic so that the book gives readers excitement, vividly funny characters, healthy eating, Covid19 exhaustion, magical journeys, confusing and strange adventures, danger, and closure. The publication of the book was made possible with a grant from the Stephen and Tabatha King Foundation.

Emerson Monroe McLean is a true Texan through and through. But she's never wanted to be like the other girls she grew up with, the ones who view debutante balls and sororities as stepping-stones to landing the perfect husband. Yet everyone underestimates Em. When they look at the leggy blonde, all they see is a serial-dater who leaves a string of broken hearts in her wake. What people don't realize is that keeping guys at arms length is more than just about having a good time; it's a deep-rooted defense mechanism. Lucas Harper is California born and bred. The product of his wealthy upbringing and an overbearing mother, Lucas has always been told where to be and when to be there. But after his older brother's death, Lucas is tired of being a puppet. Taking a break to figure out what he wants out of life, he moves to West Beach to spend the summer surfing. It's there that he meets Emerson McLean, the free-spirited beauty who lures him into her bed. Refusing to be tied down, she's unlike any girl he's ever known. Their chemistry is undeniable. There's only one hitch: Lucas already has a fiancée. And when she lands on his doorstep, Emerson realizes that for the first time in her life, she has genuine feelings for a guy. With her heart on the line, Emerson discovers that, win or lose, she isn't the kind of girl to play by the rules.

"As its title suggests, Fitzgerald's well-designed follow-up to his Beyond Chicken Soup (2019) takes its initial cues from Poor Richard s Almanack, collecting the author s wisdom and gentle humor on a wide variety of topics, ranging from ethics and morality to God to loneliness to sports. The author shifts easily from a tone of jocularity to one of serious concentration and back... The tone adopted throughout is that of inviting conversation; readers seeking practical reminders of everyday wisdom will doubtless respond. A friendly, all-purpose compendium of thought-provoking intellectual odds and ends." --Kirkus Reviews
