The Deltas are back for a new challenge in Lindsay Currie's THE HOUSE WITH NO KEYS, testing their individual strengths & their friendship. Tension & high stakes of the escape room setting paired w/the enduring friendship of the Deltas makes this sequel another winner. #MGLit

Congratulations to Jo Beckett-King on her MG debut, THE HOUSE OF FOUND OBJECTS! Perfect for readers who love mysteries, Paris, prickly friendships, and
solving puzzles hand-in-hand with characters. Kirkus says, β€œCodebreakers and mystery fans will want to read this fun adventure,
tout de suite.”
