HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY, FAIRDAY!


Happy 1st book birthday to THE SECRET FILES OF FAIRDAY MORROW! It's been a year since the mystery of the Begonia House was revealed to the world, and now the paperback will be available January 3rd, 2017. The new cover design stays true to Fairday's snazzy style, sprinkling in a few added charms. Can you spot the differences from hardcover? ;)



Here's a bit about the story...
The Begonia House keeps its secrets. Everyone knows that. Everyone, that is, except for clever eleven-year old Fairday Morrow, whose family has just moved in. Being the Senior Investigator in the Detective Mystery Squad, more commonly known as the DMS, she’s ready to uncover the mysteries hidden within the strange manor. As the investigation gears up and the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, the three young sleuths enter into a world where anything is possible, and the danger is most definitely real. Can they piece together the puzzle before it's too late? Or will whatever's causing trouble find Fairday and her friends first?



Planning to pick up the paperback? Pre-order a copy and you could win a $50 VISA card to treat yourself after the holidays. Contest is open to all! For more details on how to enter, click here.

For more information about the book, visit the DMS at fairdaysfiles.com 





Join in the celebration and visit our friends around the book block to pick up a few clues about the inspiration behind the mystery of the Begonia House and how the authors, Jessica Haight and Stephanie Robinson, collaborated on the book as friends.

    Congratulations on one year! You've come a long way. Didn't know the first version was a hardback. (With an eBook, it's really hard to tell.)

      Dezmond- We know it looks a lot like the old one. The back and inside flap are totally different and there are other changes on the cover and spine. Our readers need to get out the magnifying glasses. ;) ~Stephanie and Jess
