GIVE MY REGRETS TO BROADWAY
by Bruce Hale

It’s no mystery: Chet Gecko can’t sing. He can’t dance. He can’t act. Heck, he can’t even act normal. So why would he take the lead in Mr. Ratnose’s musical version of Shake-speare’s Omelet, Prince of Denver? A new case, natu-rally. The original leading man has disappeared, and something smells rotten in the realm of Ratnose. Did the third-act lip-lock with Shirley Chameleon scare him away? Or is foul play afoot? One thing’s for cer-tain: This mystery won’t be over until the fat gecko -- er, lady -- sings!

Odd Man Out


ODD MAN OUT
by Sarah Ellis

A month on an is-land with Gran and five girl cousins - including Emily, who thinks she’s a dog. In a rambling house that’s about to be torn down, so anything goes (except demolish-ing load-bearing walls!). Picnics on the beach with cold wieners, string cheese, peanut butter crackers and ideas. Campfires, seal-watching and exploring tide pools.

And up in the attic, a mystery and memories are waiting.
