A haunted house. Two horrible stepbrothers. One unforgettable friendship. Sherman Freester thought moving to a new town with his blended family would be tough- but he didn' t expect his new house to be haunted! Luckily, Yits, a young Yevins on his first mission, is ready to help. Together, they banish the ghost, form a secret friendship, and discover a world full of magic, mischief, and surprises. With Yits learning about humans- and Sherman teaching him about baseball- Sherman finally finds the courage to stand up to his stepbrothers. Full of humor, heart, Yits Yevins is a magical, laugh-out-loud adventure about bravery, friendship, and discovering that shadows can hide the most extraordinary things.
"Yits Yevins is OUTSTANDING! Baseball, bullying, sibling rivalry, a Big Ugly Ghost, grammar lessons, writing advice, and an Abbot and Costello routine to boot. What's not to love? Beautifully written. I could not put it down. It's a home run."
Roland Smith, author of Peak
"Yits Yevins was so much fun to read that I roared through it in a single sitting, marveling the whole time at the world Thomas Cochran created and jealously wondering how he was able to pull it off with such ease and conviction. A beautiful, vividly imagined story that demonstrates on every page why I and so many others regard Cochran as one of the best storytellers at work today."
John Ed Bradley, author of It Never Rains in Tiger Stadium
