The seven-year-old is spoiled rotten, and looks down on every kid he knows—even the ones who are taller than him! But one night, Lester disappears and a ransom note warns the Hoppers not to contact the police. The Casebusters are going to need to solve their most serious mystery yet—a possible kidnapping. Before he disappeared, Lester was diagnosed with a lung infection, and he needs to take his medicine again soon or he’ll get very sick indeed. But was Lester kidnapped, or did he run away? Whatever the answer, all the clues point to one destination: the town’s oldest cave, which is said to be haunted by the ghost of a dead pirate. To save Lester, Brian and Sean will have to match wits with a swashbuckler who’s been dead for centuries.

Shelly Kaye

For most folks, a trip to the circus is a pretty harmless thing to do – so long as you remain in your seats to enjoy the show. But it wouldn’t be a good idea if you were to get involved with the acts and, for example, tried to help a monkey escape or you got involved with an escaped lion that hates monkeys……And then one of your pals wanted to leave home and join the circus. If anything like that happened, well, for sure there would be big trouble under the big top! And this action-packed performance has all the thrills & spills and ooo’s & aah’s that any audience could wish for.

Jill Monaco

From author Jill Monaco comes a much-needed message for kids and adults alike - a reminder that we are all created in the image of God.  
Miranda is a newborn baby when her parents buy a special, gigantic mirror for her bedroom that is a surprising source of fun. How cool that the person in the mirror makes the exact same movements and expressions she does? She soon blossoms into a fashionista and loves seeing her creative clothing choices in the mirror, and she always feels beautiful.  
But a day arrives when she realizes she looks different from her friend. Miranda wonders - does different still mean beautiful?  
Then one morning, Miranda wakes up and finds a sticky note attached to the mirror that reads: "You are fearfully and wonderfully made." The next day a new note is stuck to her mirror: "You are loved with an everlasting love." Each morning brings anticipation as Miranda rushes to read the new note attached to her special mirror.  
As the years pass, Miranda's insecurities fade away, and her new identity becomes grounded and shaped by these scriptural affirmations.  
But who is leaving the notes?  
Join Miranda as she uncovers the mystery and learns the meaning behind the notes she finds on her mirror. This touching story will help your child see themselves as God sees them. An Activity Guide is also included so you can encourage your child to view themselves and others through the reflection of God's love.
