The twenty-fifth anniversary of a terrible crime is fast approaching, and it's accompanied by more than its fair share of mysterious occurrences -- ghostly sightings, a stolen book, a hidden diary, an unearthed cave ... But for a nation on the mend after a year of finger-pointing and false accusations, only Elliot Bisby seems willing to believe there could be anything truly sinister afoot. Racing to connect the past with the present, he'll come face to face with every Giggleswickian's worst fear in this heart-pounding conclusion to the Giggleswick trilogy ... * Buy any of Matthew Mainster's books in print and get the e-book version FREE thanks to Kindle Matchbook!

The Swope family has everything they could possibly want to make 1920 a good year -- a Model T motorcar, a telephone, indoor plumbing, electricity, and a successful grocery store -- but when the Ku Klux Klan burns down Mr. Swope's store in a fiery reaction to his paid black employee, Watson, the Swopes are suddenly thrown upon hard times. Everett and Charles Swope, ages eight and seven respectively, are emboldened to help their family through this crisis, and with the aid of their cousin Clara and trusty dog Poncho, they discover the magical capabilities of a family heirloom -- a periwinkle turban. Granting them any talent they wish for (and sometimes ones they don't wish for), the turban is right atop their heads for each adventure they embark upon in their quest to solve the family's money troubles. What they'll soon learn, however, is that some talents may be more trouble than they're worth ... Roar into the 1920's with the Swope children -- an age where adventure, resourcefulness, and imagination ruled the day! * Buy any of Matthew Mainster's books in print and get the e-book version FREE thanks to Kindle Matchbook!

Book 2: Despite the fact that Elliot Bisby and his best friend Eliza nearly died at the end of their last school year, a rather uneventful summer leaves them eager for the start of a new term. Their excitement fades, however, when they find themselves under the charge of several peculiar new teachers, in particular an excruciatingly energetic Director of Performing Arts. But they'll soon be worrying about more than homework and musical auditions as people start disappearing in Giggleswick one by one. These mysterious happenings prompt Chief Justice Kennedy Kreville to launch an all-out manhunt for a kidnapper, but with very few clues, almost everyone comes under suspicion, and finger-pointing abounds. Injecting the peaceful little island with a heavy dose of fear, Kreville soon has all of Giggleswick under his spell, and it's not long before he's reaching for his gavel. In fact, there's one person he suspects more than any other, but Elliot's sure he's way off the mark, and it'll be up to him to prove Kreville wrong before anyone else disappears ... * Buy any of Matthew Mainster's books in print and get the e-book version FREE thanks to Kindle Matchbook!

It's a natural phenomenon -- a small country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean hidden from the rest of the world by a circle of unnavigable fog. It's called Giggleswick, and twelve-year-old Elliot Bisby has never heard of it, that is until he and his family are approached by an unusual man and asked to move there. Before they know it, the struggling Bisby family finds themselves on a tiny boat captained by a man who prefers a singing parrot to a compass, and they soon embark on a journey that no other seaman could make and live to tell about. In Giggleswick, Elliot and his parents find themselves mingling with a colorful set of locals the likes of which include an Irish-Arabian bagpiper, a man who thinks he's a knight, and a woman who does her exercises on the roof in high-heels. At last, Elliot has found the happiness he's been waiting for and a place to call his own, but what he doesn't know, is that helping Giggleswick to remain hidden from the rest of the world may prove far more difficult and dangerous than he could have ever imagined ...
