    Abstract

    Trevor, Nick and Robyn are hot on the trail of the sandwich thief when they learn that more than food has gone missing at school. A valuable hockey book has been stolen from the library, and the librarian might lose her job if it isn’t found. Who would steal a hockey book? Could it be Robyn’s arch-nemesis and hockey enthusiast, Cray? Or could it be the Oilers fan, Ms. Thorson? The kids are determined to solve these mysteries even though their sleuthing efforts land them in trouble at every turn.

  • Dunces rock

    Creator

    Jaimet, Kate

    Abstract

    The Dunces, Josh, Magnolia, Wang and Wilmot, are back, and this time they’re going up against a formidable foe: Principal Hale, who has canceled their school’s drama and music program just when Wilmot needs it most. He has a guitar (given to him by a teen named Headcase), but no teacher and nowhere to practice (his dad hates rock ’n’ roll). The Dunces’ plan to convince Principal Hale to reinstate the program involves Josh’s reluctant participation in a hockey team, Magnolia’s enthusiastic role-playing and Wang’s disillusionment with a suspicious character named Hui Bing (aka Larry).

And he's got to solve them if he wants to save his mother's life.
