After twelve-year-old John Boarhog’s mom dies, the last thing he wants is to be schlepped off to the Jersey Home for Boys, where kids are forced to make skinny jeans for hipsters and are fed nothing but kale. Instead, he makes himself a snug home in the ceiling of the New York Museum of Natural History, where he reads anything he get his hands on and explores the artifacts afterhours. But when a rare Egyptian ruby—the highlight of the museum’s new exhibit—goes missing, John is accused of the crime. That is until the unpredictable Inspector Toadius McGee sweeps in to wrestle control of the case, certain that the true culprit is a notorious criminal he’s been tracking for years. John quickly becomes the Watson to Toadius’s Holmes as they race from Broadway to back alleys to a speak-easy that only serves root beer. And along the way, John uncovers secrets about his own past, including that he’s a lot more involved in this web of endearing ne'er-do-wells than he ever could have imagined.

Book Description
The heart-pounding conclusion to the daring Smoke Thieves trilogy. In this conclusion to the epic Smoke Thieves trilogy, the world has erupted into all-out war. King Aloysius is mining powerful demon smoke and using it to fuel an unstoppable army of children. March, now banished for treason, has joined up with this boy army. Forbidden from ever seeing Edyon again, and overwhelmed by his own betrayal, March no longer cares if he lives or dies. Catherine--now queen of Pitoria--must find a way to defeat the boy army, while also grappling with her own troubles: her secret demon smoke addiction, and unresolved tension with her former lover, Ambrose. Catherine seeks military support from Calidor by reaching out to her illegitimate cousin Edyon, who has been proclaimed heir to the Calidorian throne. But Edyon has almost no power as he's entangled in the unfamiliar machinations and manipulations of the royal court, finding that being the claimed son of a prince may be no easier than being a bastard. With Catherine, his love, now married off and moving on, and his brother and sister tortured and executed before him, Ambrose doesn't know what his role in this world is any more. He leads an expedition into the demon world, hoping to destroy the boy army's stores of demon smoke. In this underground world, he runs into Tash, whom everyone had believed dead. She has survived in this new world using magical abilities that, prior to now, only demons had. Aloysius will send his demon smoke-powered boy army to kill them all, if he can. But what nobody knows is that there is more to the smoke than meets the eye...

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In the latest installment of the chronicles of Carding, Vermont, Edie Wolfe comes to appreciate the truth in one of her father's favorite sayings: "Old sins cast long shadows." As the green of a Vermont summer deepens and the cool waters of Half Moon Lake beckon, Edie and her friends uncover more questions than answers when they start digging into the town's past. Why did Carding's most famous son, the renowned painter Joseph Stillman Croft, leave town so suddenly in 1929? Why does his strange will mandate that his masterpiece, Thieves of Fire, always hang on the wall of the Carding Academy of Traditional Arts? As she starts to probe Croft's secret life, Edie comes face to face with her own past when the father of her children, the man she knew in Paris as Jean-Paul Vallone, turns out to be very much alive and very interested in the comings and goings of her little town in Vermont. Then there's the business of Gideon Brown's resurrection tour, the problem of unpaid taxes, and a forgotten woman who holds the key to Carding's future. Edie would like you to believe that she's as calm on the inside as she appears on the outside. But with so much change swirling through the streets of the town at the heart of the Corvus River Valley, Edie Wolfe's renowned wisdom and foresight are about to be challenged. If you're in the mood for the kind of story that keeps you reading late into the night because you just have to know what happens next, then you're in for a treat in Thieves of Fire, a tale about the bonds of love and the fundamental goodness of human beings.
