Check out Aliens on Vacation by Clete Smith

 

 

Scrub is not happy about leaving Florida to spend the entire summer with his Grandma (who he has NEVER met) in Washington. When he arrives at the Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast, he is shocked by the weird looking guests. Grandma instantly puts Scrub to work helping her keep her “secret” and disguising the aliens that come and visit. Will Scrub blow Grandmas cover, forcing the Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast to shut down forever? Come to the Idea Place and find out! You will not want to put this down.

For ages 10 & up!

Three Times Lucky

 

Moses Lo Beau or Mo for short, arrived in Tupelo Landing in a very odd way.  She floated in on a raft in the middle of a hurricane when she was an infant. To make matters worse, the man who found her had just been in a car accident and didn’t remember who he was. The two stuck together and they run the town café with the help of the enchanting Miss Lana. 

 

 

With sixth grade over and a full summer ahead of her,  Mo wants nothing more than to fish and have fun with her best friend Dale Earnhardt Johnson III.  Her plans are interrupted when a murder happens in town. 



Now Mo and Dale are determined to find the killer before he strikes again...
