Featured Book!
(release date Sept. 2008)

Things continue to inexplicably disappear all over Boomtown as Arthur Button and his family dodge Santa rockets, flying barber chairs, and exploding eggs in a race against time. With the help of Sheriff Burton Ernie and a whole host of oddball characters, will Arthur survive to discover the identity of the "Mysterious Mole" who could change the future of Boomtown forever?

Great fun, especially for boy readers! The whole family will love it, too!
