Henry & Eva

Prominent Environmentalist and Oceanographer Die in Boating Accident This is the headline that changes Henry and Eva's lives. Their parents, environmentalist William Billings and his oceanographer wife Margo, disappear mysteriously at sea. But for Henry and Eva, things are about to go from bad to worse. Their jerk-face uncle (nicknamed Claude the Clod) and his awful girlfriend (Terri the Terrible) have moved into their big house on the cliff to "take care of them," but Eva has her doubts about their intentions. And when some spooky visitors appear with a message, they realize that their parents' deaths might not have been as cut and dry as everyone thinks. It's up to Henry and Eva to discover the truth-but can they do it before the Clod catches them? Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket, readers of this arch, spooky, timeless tale will find themselves enraptured with this fresh new middle grade series.

Ghostly detective duo Henry and Eva are back in this silly and spooky follow-up to Henry & Eva and the Castle on the Cliff, perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and The Graveyard Book! There are three things that Henry and Eva know for sure: 1. Ghosts are real. As real as you or me. 2. They're pretty friendly (also a bit pesky and totally dramatic). 3. Whenever they come around, mysteries are sure to follow. Henry and Eva thought that their supernatural sleuthing was over when they solved the mystery of their parents' murders, but they were absolutely wrong. Word has gotten around the Hereafter about the kids who can help right a wrong done to the deceased, and now their great-great-great-great-grandrelations have returned from their graves with a new problem: A mysterious stranger is stealing precious historical artifacts out from under the very noses of some preoccupied partygoers. As the only living party attendees who know about the burglary, it's up to Henry and Eva to halt this heinous heist. But they won't have to do it alone: Their long-dead family members have brought along a few friends they've made in the afterlife to help. New and returning readers alike will fall in love with the smart, spunky, and spooky adventures of Henry and Eva, from acclaimed author Andrea Portes!
