New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and pulse-pounding conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell solves the mystery that has haunted Ellingham Academy for over 75 years. Now available in paperback.
Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie’s greatest triumph . . .
She knows who Truly Devious is. She’s solved it. The greatest case of the century.
At least, she thinks she has. With this latest tragedy, it’s hard to concentrate on the past. Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow—somehow—all these things connect. The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.
Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it’s time for Stevie to do something stupid. It’s time to stay on the mountain and face the storm—and a murderer.
In the tantalizing finale to the Truly Devious trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson expertly tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all who’ve walked through Ellingham Academy.

only ones working on the mystery: they meet Egyptian expert
Professor Peter Gyptex, and the very odd Vera Damclot, a fan of
mummified cats. Can the Squad reveal the mummy's secret before it
unravels? ------------------- Young readers will love the riddles,
red herrings and big reveals jam-packed into this fun-filled series
of mystery stories by Mike Nicholson. The enjoyable extras like

Independent 'Thoroughly gripping' Sunday Telegraph A story about
family, self-belief and bravery, The London Eye Mystery is a
brilliantly inventive crime-caper perfect for fans of Enola Holmes,
High-Rise Mystery and A Kind of Spark. 11.32 a.m. Ted and his
sister Kat watch their cousin Salim get on board the London Eye.
The pod rises from the ground, high above the city. 12.02 p.m. The
pod lands and the doors open. Everyone exits - everyone but Salim.
Has he spontaneously combusted? (Ted's theory.) Has he been
kidnapped? (Aunt Gloria's theory.) Is he even still alive? (The
family's unspoken fear.) Ted doesn't see the world like most people
he knows and is sure that with his "unique operating system" of a
brain he can uncover the truth about Salim's disappearance. So,
teaming up with Kat, Ted sets out to do just that - following a
trail of clues across London. But with time ticking dangerously by,
can Ted solve the mystery before it's too late? A multiple
award-winning novel with over 150k copies sold in the UK alone, The
London Eye Mystery is a true modern classic that's not to be missed
- now featuring an introduction from Robin Stevens. Don't miss

'A funny, realistic teen crime caper. This book sings.' Jesse
Andrews, author of ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL (praise for
TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE) A brilliantly funny romantic comedy -
with infectious characters, wry humour, and breakneck dialogue,
this sequel to Trouble is a Friend of Mine is perfect for fans of
John Green, Jesse Andrews and Ally Carter. After a fall semester of
fiascos: getting arrested, then kidnapped, then blown up in an
explosion (all thanks to the weird, but brilliant Philip Digby),
Zoe Webster is looking forward to a quiet spring. Now that Digby
has left town, she's finally built a regular high school life for
herself. She's dating Miles; she knows girls she considers friends;
she's learning to enjoy being normal and semi-popular. Which of
course is when Digby comes back: He's got a new lead on his missing
sister and he needs Zoe's help. Suddenly Zoe is tussling with a
billionaire archvillain, locking horns with armed goons, and
digging into what makes the Digby family tick, even as she tries to
navigate the confusing and emotionally fraught world of high school
politics and locker-room drama. After all, it's hard to explain
Digby to a boy like Miles, especially when Zoe isn't sure how she
feels about Digby herself - or how he feels about her. Now that
Digby's back, get ready for another hilarious whodunit filled with
razorsharp dialogue, ridiculously funny action, and the most
charismatic, dynamic duo you've ever met. And just try to stay out
of trouble. We dare you.

Die nuwe skooljaar begin nie goed vir Thomas nie. Eers het hy en Hannes 'n nagmerrieondervinding in 'n hyser en dan word hy vir 'n week lank geskors omdat hy die ou drel van 'n Piet Senekal geslaan het. Thomas se pa is so kwaad hieroor, dat hy hom verbied om naby enige rekenaar te kom en hom vir 'n week lank hok! Dit beteken dat Thomas die interhuisdans gaan misloop - sy enigste kans om vir Alex amptelik te vra om sy meisie te wees. Die enigste voordeel van die paar dae by die huis, is dat Louisa, sy stiefma, hom kan help om voor te berei vir die toneeloudisie - die manlike hoofrol kry immers die kans om vir Alex te soen! Maar dan begin 'n reeksmoordenaar paniek saai in Kaapstad en dit lyk asof dinge nie heeltemal gaan uitwerk soos wat Thomas beplan het nie. Agterin die KABV-goedgekeurde skooluitgawe van hierdie gewilde boek verskyn opsommings, opwindende, uitdagende pre- en postlees-aktiwiteite en volledig uitgewerkte vrae en antwoorde wat aan die KABV-riglyne voldoen.
