The Day The World Sneezed

"On vacation with his parents in Savannah, Georgia, Nick Caden is eager to investigate the mystery surrounding Heidi May Laveau, a girl who supposedly died years ago but whose body just washed up on the shore"--

Dead Low Tide

In Deadwood, Nick Caden discovers the body of Billy the Kid. Is there a "ghost killer" running loose in this Old West ghost town? It's all for show...right? Nothing more than Hollywood theatrics? "This is an authentic Old West ghost town," the sheriff tells Nick. "Around these parts the dead don't stay dead." But Nick Caden's vacation becomes a nightmare when this "living" ghost town takes a deadly turn toward trouble. Soon Nick finds himself trapped in a stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James. The shooter whirls, aims and... vanishes. Great theatrics, Nick thinks. Only then does he discover the body of a real dead cowboy. Soon Nick is caught in a deadly chase—from an abandoned gold mine, through forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and across Rattlesnake Gulch—around every turn he finds another suspect. Will Nick solve the murder before his family leaves Deadwood? Or will the town's desperate need for tourists' income bury the haunting truth that a "ghost killer" stalks the living in Deadwood? In this middle-grade murder mystery series, award-winning author Eddie Jones takes readers on a Wild, Wild, West ride. ★ 2013 Selah Award Finalist for Middle Grade Fiction ★ Parents can trust the Caden Chronicles.

A murder . . . A mystery . . . A monster . . . Is there a werewolf running loose in Sleepy Hollow? Can a person be turned into a werewolf? Like most monster myths, Nick doubts the old werewolf tales are true. "Consider this account of King Nebuchadnezzar from the Book of Daniel," his grandfather says. "Instantly his body became drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. 'Let him live with the animals of the earth,' declared the holy messenger from heaven. 'Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal.'" Holding a newspaper clipping from his Mom's friend, Nick wonders if this ancient curse is working its way through the population of Sleepy Hollow, New York. Law enforcement officials claim a wolf or some other large animal killed the jogger under a bridge in Rockefeller State Park. Large misshapen paw prints were found around the body. There were also bite marks on her hands, and arms. Her death, occurring during a full moon, have led some to suggest that a werewolf may be running loose in Sleepy Hollow. Certain there is no such creature, Nick digs into the case and uncovers hints that part of the werewolf legend may be true. Now, as the last full moon of the month rises over Sleepy Hollow, Nick is about to learn that some monsters are real. And the worst kind of monster is the one you never see coming. ★ 2020 Selah Award Finalist - Middle Grade Fiction ★ Parents can trust the Caden Chronicles.

While searching for rumored treasure in a cave on Coffin Cay, a small island off the southwestern tip of Haiti (Hispaniola), Ricky suffers an absence seizure. During his last trance-like episode, Ricky uncovered a treasure from the Nuestra Señora de Riqueza, a vessel in an armada of ships sailing the Spanish Main. Now back on Coffin Cay with his parents, Ricky hunts for the treasure he found in the cave over three hundred years earlier during his trip back to pirate land.

The Autobiography

My Life and Rugby

My name is Ricky Bradshaw and I have epilepsy. If you're thinking I have convulsions and spasms, I don't. I suffer from what my doctor calls absence seizures. Most days I act and look pretty normal -- or as normal as a boy can when he's in the tenth grade. But when I have an "episode" I sort of zone out. Mom tells me that when it happens I look like I'm daydreaming. Which means I don't look much different from the rest of my classmates at Quiet Cove High. School is pretty boring some days. If you've never heard of absence seizures, that's okay. A lot of people haven't. My teachers are a lot of those people. I needed to tell you that because at the beginning of The End of Calico Jack my parents and I are on Coffin Cay, an island off the coast of the Dominican Republic (Hispaniola). We're looking for the treasure of the Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe. That's a spanish treasure ship. During one of my previous "episodes" I was in the exact same cave with the treasure. Only then I was there during the age of pirates, so that was like three hundred or so years ago. When I went back with Mom and Dad the cave was empty. But I did find a ship's log with the exact course and route and longitude and latitude of where the Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe would be on a certain date .... three hundred or so years ago. Then it happened - I had an episode. Now I'm sailing around the West Indies with Calico Jack, Ann Bonny, and Scary Mary Read. Tomorrow the Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe should be off the western coast of Haiti (also Hispaniola) which just happens to be the exact date when Calico Jack and his crew were captured three hundred or so years ago. If I make it off this ship alive, I'll let you know. If not, I'll be swinging on the gallows with Calico Jack. Either way I plan to have a few pieces of gold and silver in my pockets.
