If you simply mention the name “Grimjinx” in the village of Vengekeep, people will automatically reach for their wallets, purses, watches, and any other valuables just to make sure they are still there. Chances are, though, they were nicked from under their noses a while ago. The Grimjinx clan just can’t help it. They come from a long line of thieves, and they are quite good at it. So good, in fact, that they have never been caught stealing, even though everyone in Venegekeep know they are responsible. Read More

About the Book
Enk vessara, enk talmin.
You can't convict what you can't confirm.
Jaxter Grimjinx is a born thief. At least, he's supposed to be. For generations, the Grimjinx clan has produced the swiftest, cleverest thieves in Vengekeep.
The problem is, Jaxter is clumsy. So clumsy that in his first solo heist, he sets the Castellan's house on fire and lands his family in the gaol. Even Jaxter's skill for breaking magical locks can't get them out of this bind.
Then a suspiciously convenient prophecy emerges naming the Grimjinx clan as the soon-to-be heroes of Vengekeep. It's good enough to get his family out of the gaol, but with a firestorm, a flood, and a host of skeletal beasts among the dangers listed in the prophecy, Jaxter is pretty sure a life in the gaol would be a better fate.
Now --- like it or not --- Jaxter Grimjinx will have to become the hero he was truly born to be.

About the Book
Spending the summer at her grandmother's house is the last thing Sarah wants to do --- especially now that Grandma Winnie has died --- but she has no choice. Her parents have to fix the place up before they can sell it, and Sarah and her brother, Billy, have to help. But the tedious work turns into a thrilling mystery when Sarah discovers an unfinished letter her grandmother wrote: Strange things are happening behind the bookcase...

With a talking cat named Balthazat as her guide, Sarah begins an unforgettable adventure into a world filled with countless dangers. Who can she trust? And can she face her fears, not only in Scotopia, but also back at Grandma Winnie's house, where more secrets and strange goings-on await her?
