FEAR NOT THE UNEXPECTED.
Eleven-year old Fairday Morrow moves from Manhattan to a small town in Connecticut, where her parents have bought a big, spooky, crumbling manor called the Begonia House. They want to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, but when Fairday moves in she finds out that an unsolved mystery had taken place in the home. She and her friends in the Detective Mystery Squad try to piece together the clues and sort out what happened in the house. The young sleuths enter into a world where anything is possible, and the danger is most definitely real. Can they solve the puzzle before it's too late? Or will whatever's causing trouble find Fairday and her friends first?

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE
Fairday Morrow had no clue that moving from Manhattan to the small town of Ashpot, Connecticut, would lead to an unsolved mystery. Her parents’ dream of renovating a crumbling Victorian called the Begonia House into a bed-and-breakfast had seemed like treachery at the time. But Fairday found out that her new house kept secrets, and once inside its twisted front gates, anything was possible. When mysterious notes start showing up warning that a librarian is in trouble and a bookworm is devouring words, Fairday thinks the Begonia House has more secrets in its closets. She and her friends in the Detective Mystery Squad open up a new case and fall into a world of literary magic. What happens when words in stories are eaten by a hungry bookworm?
This fine combination of clever kids, arcane mysteries, and witty conundrums falls nicely in-line with other novels featuring riddle-solving kids and literary and linguistic references.

About the Authors
Jess and Stephanie met freshman year of high school. It was in English class where they first discovered they liked the same books. Their friendship grew, and over the years they went on to work as servers together, go to the same college for a short time, and they even became roommates for a while. Many books were discussed, but none were ever written. Today, the authors are working on the third book in the Fairday Morrow series, Fairday Morrow and the Master's Emporium, and they know in their bones that anything's possible.
