In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life ― just in time for the holidays.

Though I, Timmy Failure, have solved many notorious crimes and now wish to enjoy my retirement, my fans have begged me to turn my memoirs into a movie, an ode to my greatness. I am, however, beset by enemies, the worst of whom is Tom John John, the buffoonish movie director. What’s more, my father is in town, working at a bar, which is obviously just a cover for our father-son crime-fighting partnership. And my dim-witted polar bear business partner, Total, wants to be reunited with his family. I should have known it would end like this. I expected more.

Kya Rothman het nog altyd haar diamanthalssnoer as haar kosbaarste besitting beskou. Haar ouers het dit met haar geboorte vir haar gegee, en die legende sê dat dit vervloek is. Kya het nooit veel waarde aan die stories geheg nie, selfs nie toe haar ma die dag ná haar geboorte oorlede is nie – die dag nadat haar pa die diamant gekoop het.

Maar wanneer haar pa vals beskuldig word van die moord op sy beste vriend en hul lewens in duie stort, begin Kya wonder of daar dalk meer aan die legende is as wat sy gedink het. In ’n poging om haar pa se naam skoon te kry, wend sy haar tot meneer Cohen, ’n ou
familievriend met ’n winkel vol geheime. Daar ontmoet sy Eddie Nonnies, en ’n intense vonk skiet tussen hulle.

Saam moet Kya en Eddie deur ’n web van intrige en gevaar vaar om die waarheid te ontdek. Terwyl hulle probeer om Kya se pa te red, moet hulle ook hul eie lewens – en die geheimsinnige diamant – beskerm. Aksie, romanse en raaisels verweef in ’n onvergeetlike
avontuur wat jou op die punt van jou stoel sal hou.

Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? Ben Ripley sure hopes so--and his life may depend on it
Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent." In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science--but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior C.I.A. academy. Could the C.I.A. really want him?
Actually, no. There's been a case of mistaken identity--but that doesn't stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy...if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life

"It's the vivid, insightful depiction of Sara's internal struggles that readers will remember." -Booklist In this prequel to the Edgar Award-winning OCDaniel, fan-favorite Sara quests for "normal" and finds something even better along the way. Sara's Rules to Be Normal 1. Stop taking your pills 19. Make a friend 137. Don't put mayonnaise on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sara wants one thing: to be normal. What she has instead are multiple diagnoses from Dr. Ring. Sara's constant battle with False Alarm-what she calls panic attacks-and other episodes cause her to isolate herself. She rarely speaks, especially not at school, and so she doesn't have any friends. But when she starts group therapy she meets someone new. Talkative and outgoing Erin doesn't believe in "normal," and Sara finds herself in unfamiliar territory: at the movies, at a birthday party, and with someone to tell about her crush-in short, with a friend. But there's more to Erin than her cheerful exterior, and Sara begins to wonder if helping Erin will mean sacrificing their friendship.
