September Sneakers is the ninth Calendar Mysteries book, and another that takes the focus away from monthly holidays--though it does deal with a September-specific theme, of course!

August Acrobat is the first Calendar Mysteries book in a while to come without a holiday theme, but it's an entertaining mystery nonetheless. It visits a setting the Green Lawn universe hasn't experienced yet: a circus. But this one, as the summary says, needs some help... mostly, it needs the help ...

If you have a serious problem with the U.S. incarnation of St. Patrick's Day, it might not be for you; however, I think that it manages to dodge most of the things peop...

February Friend is the second Calendar Mysteries book, a quick and cute Valentine's Day story involving a mysterious bunny. Like its predecessor series, A to Z Mysteries, it's a book set in the fictional town of Green Lawn, a place where 1950s small town charm meets the modern world. There's really ...
