About this Event
Calling wannabe sleuths and nosy neighbors alike! We are delighted to announce that Amy Tern’s debut middle grade, SNEAKS (ages 8-13), is this summer’s Camp Bookworm pick! This hijinks-heavy mystery, written in dual POVs, where two tweens team up to solve an increasingly tangled apartment mystery, reads like Only Murders in the Building for tweens. Read the book over the summer (pre-order it now for its July 7 release!) and then join us for an in-store discussion on Friday, August 28, where Amy Tern herself will make a special appearance halfway through to answer questions and sign copies of the book!
About the Book
Valory has developed an unfortunate reputation as a thief—primarily because she steals things—though she has resolved to change her ways. Rook is a total asparagus-eater (a.k.a. a good kid), but he likes to spy on his neighbors. Nobody’s perfect, right? The twelve-year-olds form an unlikely alliance when they encounter suspicious behavior in an “empty” apartment across the alley from Rook’s house. While agoraphobia keeps home-schooled Rook trapped on his property, confident and street-smart Valory can roam the scene undetected. Their opposite personalities might, in fact, be key to their success.
But their amateur detective mission morphs into something more sinister when they realize the apartment next door could be connected to a recent kidnapping. When the sleuths realize they’re also being watched, the pressure is on to unmask the villain… before she snatches them, too.
