Sinopsis

Join Iris and the Voodoo Shack gang as they investigate a mysterious death and an unsolved crime!  When 11-year-old Iris Weston discovers a ramshackle hunting cabin deep in Hazard Swamp, she and her friends decide it's perfect for a secret clubhouse. The gang dubs it the Voodoo Shack and meets there to swap stories and play card games. Ol' Man Hazard, the former owner, died under mysterious circumstances, and the kids speculate whether it was an accident, suicide or maybe even murder! The gang believes that cash from an unsolved crime may have been stashed within feet of the cabin. Even as things go badly awry, feisty Iris learns how to use her wit and independence to put things right, discovering what family really means in this adventurous and often humorous coming-of-age story set in rural Michigan in 1962.  "Set in the early 1960s, Martin's novel traces a girl's journey toward understanding the true meaning of love, family and friendship. Iris is an appealing character whose relationships with friends and family are realistically portrayed as she struggles to find her place."  --School Library Journal  "Martin has drawn on her childhood memories to create an engaging, feisty heroine, lively supporting characters and an easy-to-visualize early 1960s rural Michigan setting. And, although Iris doesn't solve all her mysteries, she finds the answers to the most important ones in this fast-paced story."  --ALA Booklist  "Readers fond of lightweight mysteries solved by spunky heroines will take to this fiction debut, though a heavy ballast of tragedy and near-tragedy keeps it low to the ground. Some of the dialogue and set pieces show a promising authorial gift for comedy. (Fiction. 10-12)" --Kirkus Reviews  This book was originally released as A Family Trait

    A heartfelt and funny story about a shy eleven-year-old who learns to manage her anxiety through improv classes—and discovers her activist voice. From Margaret Dilloway, author of Summer of a Thousand Pies, and perfect for fans of Sharon Draper, Lynda Mullaly Hunt, and Holly Goldberg Sloan. 
    Eleven-year-old Ava Andrews has a Technicolor interior with a gray shell. On the inside, she bubbles with ideas and plans. On the outside, everyone except her best friend, Zelia, thinks she doesn’t talk or, worse, is stuck-up. What nobody knows is that Ava has invisible disabilities: anxiety and a heart condition. 
    Ava hopes middle school will be a fresh start, but when Zelia moves across the country and Ava’s Nana Linda pushes her to speak up about social issues, she withdraws further. So Ava is shocked when her writing abilities impress her classmates and they invite her to join their improv group, making up stories onstage. Determined to prove she can control her anxiety, she joins—and discovers a whole new side of herself, and what it means to be on a team. 
    But as Ava’s self-confidence blossoms, her relationship with Zelia strains, and she learns that it isn’t enough just to raise your voice—it’s how and why you use it that matters.

    Deep within a shadowed forest stands an ancient castle ruled by a powerful and merciless fairy—one who turns love into captivity and innocence into song. 
    Jorinda and Jorindel are young, devoted, and newly promised to one another when they wander too close to this cursed place. In a single, devastating moment, Jorinda is transformed into a nightingale and imprisoned among hundreds of enchanted birds, while Jorindel is left helpless, bound by magic and grief. 
    Driven by love and guided by a prophetic dream, Jorindel embarks on a quiet but determined quest to break the spell that stole his beloved away. Armed only with hope and a mysterious purple flower, he dares to return to the fairy’s domain—where ancient magic, dark enchantments, and redemption await. 
    One of the Brothers Grimm’s most haunting and romantic fairy tales, Jorinda and Jorindel weaves together themes of forbidden magic, steadfast devotion, and the triumph of love over cruelty. Narrated with elegance and emotional depth by Joanna Agee, this classic tale unfolds like a spell whispered at twilight—beautiful, eerie, and unforgettable.
