It is 1937 and tensions are high. A spectacular air race around
Europe seeks to promote unity among a group of young pilots, but
distrust and animosity are rife. The British and sole female
contestant, Stella North, is determined to prove not only her
skill, but also her identity as her Nansen passport declares her
'stateless'. However, barely a few hours in, Stella is witness to a
horrifying attack when a contestant's plane is forced out of the
air and crashes. Was this the work of another competitor desperate
to win? Was the attack random or premeditated and, most
importantly, will it happen again? With the competition heating up
and the death ruled an accident, Stella is left to form her own
investigation. Can she find allies among her fellow competitors or
will suspicion and deceit bring them all down? An exhilarating rush
of a novel, with all the twists and turns we've come to expect from
the award-winning Elizabeth Wein.

James Augustus Dopeyworth wants nothing more than to become a
detective, just like his father and his hero Sherlock Holmes. He
loves solving mysteries and can often be found with a magnifying
glass in one hand and a chocolate eclair in the other. Poor old
Jim, as he likes to be known, doesnt seem to have much luck.
Nothing ever seems to go his way and it doesn't help that he is
extremely clumsy and is always getting into the most unlikely
scrapes. But one day an advert appears in the local paper that
changes everything. Will Jim become the famous detective that he
always dreamed of being or will it all end up as one big messy
disaster? Detective Dopeyworth is a story about never giving up on
your dreams, no matter what obstacles are put in your way.
Ingrid can't sleep. She can't remember, either. A competitive
diver, seventeen-year-old Ingrid is haunted by what she saw at the
pool at a routine meet, before falling off the high dive and waking
up concussed. The only thing she remembers about the moment before
her dive is locking eyes with Van - her neighbor, former best
friend, and forever crush - kissing his girlfriend on the
sidelines. But that can't be all. Then one sleepless night, she
sees Van out her window looking right back at her. They begin not
sleeping together by night, still ignoring each other at school by
day. Ingrid tells herself this is just temporary, but soon, she and
Van are up every night piecing her memory back together. As Van
works through his own reasons for not being able to sleep, they're
both pulled into a mystery that threatens to turn their quiet
neighborhood into a darker place than they realized.
In this first book in a new trilogy, Nancy, Bess, and George are
spending an entire month at their friend Stacy's fabulous
California beach house. But it turns out there is an ugly side to
California beach life.
What happens when two best friends take on the world's worst

and best friend, can cheer her up because he's dealing with his own
pain: the loss of a beloved dog. But when Ivy witnesses a possible
burglary from her living room window, her summer takes a sudden
turn from meh to mysterious. Who are the criminals? Might a
classmate be involved? And . . . uh-oh. A second mystery is nipping
at Ivy's heels. Cue the best friends, the best dog, and the best
chance that summer can be saved!
