Mid Atlantic (D.C./Virginia)

The pets investigate when mysterious intruders start trashing the storage room in the building.

The Great Vandal Scandal

The pets decide to investigate when an apartment on the fifth floor shows signs of being haunted. 

The Great Ghost Hoax

When their owner is taken to the hospital after a fall, a group of pets plan a heist to support themselves.

The Great Pet Heist

Melissa is a nobody. Wilf is a slacker. Bondi is a show-off. At least
 that's what their middle school teachers think. To everyone's surprise,
 they are the three students chosen to compete for a ten-thousand-dollar
 scholarship, solving clues that lead them to various locations around 
Chicago.
At first the three contestants work independently, but it doesn't 
take long before each begins to wonder whether the contest is a sham.
It's only by secretly joining forces and using their unique talents 
that the trio is able to uncover the truth behind the Ambrose Deception 
-- a truth that involves a lot more than just a scholarship.

The Ambrose Deception

While poking around their neighborhood, mystery-solving, swamp 
monster-fighting middle-graders Arlie and Ty find a buried coffee can 
filled with the bones of a hamster and the handwritten curse (on 
glittery unicorn notepaper) from his home-schooled owner, Mandy:   "Here lies Cuddles McGee. A curse upon those who disturb his grave."  
 The fact that the i in "lies" is topped with a heart doesn't make them 
any less scared, especially when the obese, angry, and undead Cuddles 
comes back to life and starts trashing the town.   Once again, 
it's up to Arlie, Ty, and Mr. Boots -- the fashionably dressed 
Chihuahua, to save the town from destruction, reanimated dead 
hamster-style.

The Curse of Cuddles McGee

The Magician's Bird: A Tuckernuck Mystery

Boots and Pieces

Night of the Living Lawn Ornaments

Eighty years ago, the founder of Tuckernuck Hall Intermediate School hid a treasure somewhere inside the school. Years later, the school is being shut down, and no one has found it. Until now. When Laurie and Bud stumble upon the first of a series of clues, they join forces to try to find the treasure before the school is demolished and the treasure is lost forever.

The Lost Treasure of Tuckernuck

Jeremy knows that his neighbor, Professor Twitchett, is eccentric. But he doesn’t expect the professor to disappear and dump his top secret experiment on Jeremy — a top secret experiment with dangerously sharp antlers and a fluffy cotton tail. Now Jeremy is stuck with a crabby jackalope on his hands, shady government agents on his tail and only one person to turn to for help — the class know-it-all Agatha. Jeremy and Agatha are forced to go on the run to find Twitchett, hide the jackalope and keep it safe from the government agents who want it for their own nefarious purposes.
