When Carmelito, California, is named America's Number One Dog-Friendly Town, twelve-year-old Epic McDade and his family are thrilled. Their dog-friendly bed-and-breakfast fills up quickly when a week-long celebration comes to town, that includes celebrity dog, Sir Bentley. Things take a turn for the worse when Sir Bentley's jewel-encrusted dog collar goes missing, so Epic, his younger siblings Rondo and Elvis, and his friends investigate the purported crime to solve the mystery.

When Carmelito's beloved celebrity dog, Pico Boone, goes missing, eleven-year-old Rondo must make friends with the new kid in town and keep his siblings together in order to crack the case.

Moving halfway across the country did not help eleven-year-old Zinnia deal with her little brother's death, but joining her neighbors and aunt as a Real Life Super Hero does that and more.

"Eleven-year-old Anthoni Gillis is not the kind of kid who believes in fairies, unicorns, or even the word 'maybe.' She's more of a comic-books girl. So when her mom brings her to Thunder Lake for a summer at the Showboat Resort, she doesn't believe the local rumors about the Boulay Mermaid. Anthoni has bigger fish to fry. She's always wanted a True Blue Friend. But it's been hard to find one, since for the past five years she's been bouncing from town to town, helping her mother sell Beauty & the Bee cosmetic products to keep them both afloat. This summer will be different, though. Anthoni has a plan--a foolproof checklist for making lifelong friends"--Provided by publisher.
