  An old photo brings a shocking revelation and it’s up to Emily and her best friend Olivia to solve the case! 
  Fourteen-year-old Emily O’Reilly and her best friend Olivia Webster have a knack for solving mysteries. Emily has been busily training her new puppy Sherlock to be a Search and Rescue dog so that the two can lead search-and-rescue missions someday. So when Emily stumbles across an old photo of Olivia’s adoption day—a fact that has never been revealed to Olivia—the two quickly decide to uncover the mysterious details surrounding Olivia’s birth parents. 
  But the two bite off more than they can chew as they dig into learning more about Olivia’s adoption without notifying her parents. And to make matters worse, Emily’s mother Marika, a convicted felon recently released on parole, will stop at nothing to contact her daughter—a fact that Emily is not happy about. 
  When her beloved stepmother Naomi disappears, Emily takes it upon herself to connect the dots and conduct her own snow-bound search-and-rescue mission with Sherlock. Will Emily ever find the secret behind Naomi’s disappearance? And will Olivia ever learn the truth about her adopted parents?

  From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad scientist. So, you want to be a young mad scientist. Congratulations! Admitting it is the first step. The second step is reading the (definitely true) tale of the Porch sisters…   Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where all girls have to go to etiquette school and the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are named Lavinia and their Aunt has more brooches than books. And they certainly don’t belong at Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school—they’re far more interested in science. After getting kicked out of the last etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away for good... until they receive a mysterious invitation to new school.   Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent Quibb—a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her bathtub. At 231 Mysterium Way, the pizza is fatal, the bus is powered by Gerbils, and the Dean of Students is a hermit crab.  Dangerous? Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out, and determine what side they’re on—before it’s too late!

  'A fantastic introduction to the diversity of life, in the form of a dinoflagellate.  The book contains a surprising number of important technical terms, which it introduces with wonderful ease.  I would recommend this book to all children (and adults) who are curious about organisms that are very different from us, both in trophic mode (how they absorb energy) and in size.' - Kirstine Drumm PhD in Algae with kleptochloroplasts.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Everything you learned in history class was wrong. 
  Think George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and couldn't tell a lie? Nope. 
  Believe Ben Franklin discovered electricity with a kite? Think again. 
  Sure that Washington was America's first president? Not exactly. 
  Welcome to the most entertaining history lesson you'll ever get. Busted! takes a wrecking ball to America's most cherished historical myths, revealing the fascinating truth behind the stories we've been telling ourselves for centuries. 
  Author Donovan Douglas serves up the real stories with wit, irreverence, and just enough snark to keep you turning pages. From the Founding Fathers' fictional heroics to sanitized tales of American exceptionalism, this book exposes how textbook writers turned messy, complicated history into feel-good fairy tales. 
  You'll discover: 
  Why Parson Weems invented the cherry tree story (spoiler: he was trying to sell books) 
  How Ben Franklin nearly got himself killed chasing lightning 
  Which eight presidents served before Washington (and why nobody talks about them) 
  The real stories behind America's most persistent historical lies 
  This isn't about hating America or tearing down heroes—it's about celebrating the complex, flawed, and genuinely fascinating people who built this country. Because the truth is always more interesting than the myth. 
  Perfect for history buffs, skeptics, and anyone who suspects their high school textbook might have been full of it. 
  "Finally, someone brave enough to tell us what really happened—and make it fun to read."
