In this second book of the Jane Austen Murder Mystery series, Tirzah Price takes readers for another fun, murderous romp through one of Austen’s beloved novels. Perfect for fans of The Lady Janies and Stalking Jack the Ripper. A Junior Library Guild pick! When eighteen-year-old aspiring scientist Elinor Dashwood discovers her beloved father slumped over the desk of his office study, she knows his death means dire straits for the Dashwood women. To make matters worse, an outdated will entails his estate—including Norland & Company, the private investigation firm where her younger sister Marianne worked as her father’s partner and protégé—to their half-brother and his haughty wife, who waste no time in forcing the Dashwoods out of their home and into a cramped apartment on London’s Barton Street. But before they go, the Dashwood sisters make a startling discovery: a suspicious substance in their father’s teacup—one that can only be described as poison. And poison, as Marianne’s father taught her, always points to murder. It could be dangerous; it could ruin their reputations; and most importantly, it won’t bring back their father. But if the Dashwood sisters can combine their talents and bring their father’s murderer to justice, it may bring them all some comfort—and it might even lead to love. “Pride and Premeditation is a romantic and entertaining page-turner, sure to delight readers of any genre.â€Â â€”Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series

Imagine a pair of bumbling bank robbers, a trio of kidnapped eighth-grade bullies, a lost treasure of gold coins, and a newly discovered system of underground caves, tunnels, and narrow ledges. These are just some of the encounters that sixth graders Albert McKavitt and Ben Crawford face in The Lost Treasure of Grandpa Jingle-Wingle. And it all begins after a single gold coin is found in the abandoned house of an old crusty miser who, along with his treasure, disappeared many years ago. When Albert and Ben realize a kidnapping has occurred, they decide to follow the careless trail of footprints stamped into the muddy bank of a small meandering creek. The trail leads them to the entrance of a vast, seemingly endless, underground maze. With only a single flashlight growing dimmer with each passing minute, Albert and Ben trek deep into the darkness, searching for the three captive eighth graders. But what they find, besides the shriveled-up remains of poor old Grandpa Jingle-Wingle, is the adventure of a lifetime.

Brother detectives Frank and Joe face the dangers of Black Bear Mountain once again in the twentieth book in the thrilling Hardy Boys Adventures series.

Frank and Joe are back on Black Bear Mountain, the scene of a previous wilderness adventure and mind-bending mystery. This time, the brothers are checking in on Dr. K, a friend they made during their first trip. Dr. K is a fan of living off the grid, but he's been MIA long enough to cause worry in the small mountain town. And so the teenage detectives Black Bear Mountain relied on before have been called in to help once again.

It's not a good start to the investigation when Frank and Joe's ATV is put out of commission by a falling tree. Then their camp, including their radio--their only way to contact the outside world--is destroyed by wildlife searching for food. And when they finally reach Dr. K's research station, they find his cabin has been cleaned out and abandoned--the only current resident is an angry skunk.

Frank and Joe may have been better prepared for their second Black Bear Mountain adventure, but they're not having any more luck this time around. In fact, they've been downright unlucky. Is someone trying to sabotage their mission? And if they are, how can the brothers stop this invisible foe?
